Structs in our style system use an arena-style allocation system,
managed by the presshell to which they belong. All of the relevant
overloads that forward allocation requests to the presshell declare
themselves as CPP_THROW_NEW, which indicates that they do not throw
exceptions. The C++ specification states that operator new overloads
that declare themselves to not throw exceptions require a null check on
their return value. However, the relevant presshell allocation method,
AllocateByObjectID, is infallible and will never return a null pointer.
The callers of all of these methods are therefore doing useless
(compiler-generated) null checks. Let's get rid of those useless checks
by removing the CPP_THROW_NEW annotations. This change declares these
methods will return non-null pointers and throw exceptions in case of
errors--but as we don't use exceptions, and AllocateByObjectID will
abort on OOM, everything works out OK.

The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.
CLOSED TREE makes big refactorings like this a piece of cake.

In addition to moving the code, this patch also:
* changes the square character from U+25AA to U+25FE to match the spec
* changes all the generating functions from using append to using assign
* removes negative handling from CJKIdeographicToText since it is no longer used there
* fixes indentation and naming conventions
* changes buffer size in DecimalToText
