In order to rewrite the Gecko Profiler add-on as a WebExtension,
we need an API for the profiler which allows us to control the
nsIProfiler, and symbolicate the stacks that it provides. This
is the implementation of the simpler parts of that API.
TODO:
- Support profiling of remote targets through a new devtools
API.
- Support the dump_syms breakpad code which was asm.js in the
old extension by directly calling into native code.
- Figure out a faster way to send the large volume of data from
getSymbols all the way from our extension down to the content
process and then into the page's context.

Say there's a single lag event, a GC or a busy loop, during which the user
types several characters.
Is this one (lag) event? Several (input) events?
We have INPUT_EVENT_RESPONSE_MS which will accumulate several lagged events in
this case. However, that is more of an indication of how users use Firefox than
how good we've been at eliminating sources of lag.
INPUT_EVENT_RESPONSE_COALESCED_MS records the coalesced time spend waiting for
responses to input events. So in this case it will record one value for the
entire duration of the lag.

nsIFilePicker.displaySpecialDirectory is a string that can be set to TmpD,
Desk, or any other special directory value. The real value of this directory
will be read in the parent process.
TimeStamp::ProcessCreations()'s aIsInconsistent outparam is ignored by the
majority of its caller. This patch makes it optional. Notably, this makes
ProcessCreation() easier to use in a constructor's initializer list.
FX_SESSION_RESTORE_COLLECT_DATA_LONGEST_OP_MS can go because that's exactly the same as FX_SESSION_RESTORE_COLLECT_DATA_MS now.
We can remove FX_SESSION_RESTORE_COLLECT_COOKIES_MS because that's just a flat line since bug 912717 landed.
Opening pages in a new tab might suffer an extra delay from e10s-multi because
the new process has to start up and then run all the process / frame scripts
before it can react on the request from the parent to load the first page.
There are two code paths. Either we start the tab with a remote browser and
then the RemoteWebNavigation will send the request. Or we start with a non-remote
browser and have to change the remoteness flag on it, and then the SessionStore
will send the request.
In each cases we start the timer on the parent side, send it with the message,
and when the child receives it it stops the timer and reports the measured delay.
We can lower the eslint cyclomatic complexity threshold in some directories without adding eslint suppression comments in any .js source files. We need to specify the complexity rule in accessible/.eslintrc because it doesn't inherit the mozilla/recommended rules. eslint's default complexity threshold is 20.
Also bump the eslint-plugin-mozilla version because we modified the mozilla/recommended rules.

eslint's default max-nested-callbacks threshold is 10, but now we make it an error. We could further lower the max-nested-callbacks threshold globally to 8, like browser/.eslintrc.js, but that would require adding suppression comments in (two) more .js test files. 10 seems good enough for now since it's the eslint default.
We need to specify max-nested-callbacks in accessible/.eslintrc because it doesn't inherit the mozilla/recommended rules.
Also bump the eslint-plugin-mozilla version because we modified the mozilla/recommended rules.

The "no-spaced-func" name was deprecated in ESLint v3.3.0 and replaced by "func-call-spacing", which is already specified in the mozilla/recommended rules and some other .eslintrc.js files. We need to specify func-call-spacing in accessible/tests/browser/.eslintrc.js because it doesn't inherit the mozilla/recommended rules.

Other browsers do not support any of these (IIRC), telemetry reports
essentially zero usage, and supporting them is contrary to the DOM spec.
Notes on specific events:
CommandEvent and SimpleGestureEvent: These are not supposed to be
web-exposed APIs, so I hid the interfaces from web content too
(necessary to avoid test_all_synthetic_events.html failures).
DataContainerEvent: This was a non-standard substitute for CustomEvent
that seemed to have only one user, so I removed it entirely and switched
the user (MozillaFileLogger.js) to CustomEvent.
ScrollAreaEvent: This is entirely non-standard, but we apparently expose
it deliberately to web content, so I didn't see any reason to remove it
from createEvent.
SimpleGestureEvent and XULCommandEvent: Can still be created from
createEvent(), but not by content.
TimeEvent: This is still in because it has no constructor, so there's no
other way to create it. Ideally we'd update the SMIL spec to add a
constructor. I did remove TimeEvents.

This patch replaces the usage of sNextTabParent pointer to store the next
PBrowser parent actor to be used by the next frame loader with the
following information:
* In the case where the content JS has requested a new tab, the ID of the
next TabParent will be stored on the <xul:browser> element.
* In the case where the content JS has requested a new window, the ID of
the next TabParent will be stored on the created nsXULWindow.
Downloads handled by nsIExternalHelperAppService pass a null request to the final onStateChange notification, thus we need to hold a reference to the request earlier. This also allows unit tests to access the request while the download is running.
