8d6ee326c3 Bug 1264642 - Part 3. Add BufferList::MoveFallible. r=billm
It works like a move constructor but it's fallible. It can also move
data to different but compatible AllocPolicy.

68a5f845a2 Bug 1264642 - Part 2. Add BufferList::Extract and Pickle::ExtractBuffers. r=billm
These methods allow us to move some buffers out of a pickle with minimum
copying. It's useful when the IPC deserialized type uses BufferList to
store data and we want to take the buffers from IPC directly.

Borrowing is not suitable to use for IPC to hand out data because we
often want to store the data somewhere for processing after IPC has
released the underlying buffers.
