The original issue in bug 1565902 which prompted this investigation
seems to have gone away with a Windows OS update. We saw mixed results
in telemetry over this anyway, and no clear and obvious path for
getting the benefits without the drawbacks, so removing this seems
to be the best solution right now.

When we initialize the legacy blocklisting code, we should carry forward any
flags that were set by the launcher process and/or sandbox launcher.

The inclusions were removed with the following very crude script and the
resulting breakage was fixed up by hand. The manual fixups did either
revert the changes done by the script, replace a generic header with a more
specific one or replace a header with a forward declaration.
find . -name "*.idl" | grep -v web-platform | grep -v third_party | while read path; do
interfaces=$(grep "^\(class\|interface\).*:.*" "$path" | cut -d' ' -f2)

regexp="\("

This patch make changes of Gecko infrastrutures to run a fork server
process.
- ForkServerLauncher is a component, which creates a fork server
process at XPCOM startup.
- nsBrowserApp.cpp and related files have been chagned to start a
fork server in a process.
- Logging and nsTraceRefcnt were changed to make it work with the
fork server.

We haven't tested this in recent times, and it would be good to understand
what the impact is looking at telemetry measures of startup in Nightly.
This doesn't rip out everything, but we will need to do that if we
determine that the readahead has a neutral / negative effect.

* At this point our DLL blocking infra is complicated enough that I decided to
bite the bullet and move all of this code out of `mozglue/build` and into its
own subdirectory, `mozglue/dllservices`.
* We delete the original `UntrustedDllsHandler` code which is now obsolete.
* We implement mozglue's `LoaderObserver`:
** When this observer registers itself with the launcher process API, it
receives a vector containing all saved records of loaded DLLs that happened
until that moment.
** This code handles profiler labels and stackwalking suppression.
** Once a load has completed, we either pass the load on to XUL for further
processing, or save it for later if XUL is not initialized yet.
* mozglue has its own `ModuleLoadFrame` implementation for the legacy blocklist.
* `DllServicesBase` is updated to support the new interfaces.
* We implement `FallbackLoaderAPI` for `plugin-container`, `xpcshell`, and
any other non-`firefox` processes that do not have a launcher process
providing a loader API.
* We add some wide to UTF8 conversion functions.

Start using BaseProfiler in Firefox main(), before&after XPCOM runs.
Also added a BaseProfiler label around Gecko Profiler init/shutdown (so that
samples may be ignored if user is only interested in non-XPCOM profiling).
Main process name changed to "Main Thread (Base Profiler)", so as not to confuse
the front-end, and show where this thread comes from.

Don't start the sandbox until after the port exchange so the parent process does not have to wait longer in ContentParent::LaunchSubprocess() for the (expensive) sandbox_init_with_parameters call to complete in the child. Remove the policy rule allowing access to the parent port now that it is already open when the sandbox is initialized and therefore not needed.
