1. Factoring nsIChannel into a protocol specific part, the nsIChannel, and a socket specific, the nsITransport.
2. Derive the nsIChannel from a nsIRequest.
2. Changes the notification system from necko and the URILoader to pass the nsIRequest interface instead of nsIChannel interface.
This goal stems from wanting to be able to have active AsyncRead and AsyncWrite operations on nsSocketTransport.
This is desired because it would greatly simplify the task of maintaining persistent/reusable socket connections
for FTP, HTTP, and Imap (and potentially other protocols). The problem with the existing nsIChannel interface is
that it does not allow one to selectively suspend just one of the read or write operations while keeping the other active.
The full details of the change on written up in the netlib newsgroup.

XMLterm changes only.
Recent changes to nsChromeProtocolHandler.cpp have caused chrome HTML files to lose their XPConnect privileges. This meant that content/xmlterm.html could no longer access the XMLTermShell object. This checkin provides a somewhat clumsy workaround for that problem, to get XMLterm working with NS PR3/6.0.
interfaces. Since the C++ generated code upper-cases the method names, this
affects no C++ code, but only a few javascript methods.

I am in today and tomorrow.
XMLterm changes only. Implemented chrome overlay a la Chatzilla to insert
XMLterm into the Tasks menu. Also implemented command line option "-terminal"
and URL handler "telnet://" to invoke XMLterm.
