Historically, we had support for some GNOME VFS protocols through the
gnomevfs library, and this was under extension. This may not have been
built by default when it was introduced, but GNOME upstream moved those
things into Gtk itself, and we then got support for the new Gio-based
protocol, similar to what we had through the gnomevfs library.
Time passes, and we switched off the gnomevfs library entirely, and
enabled the Gio-based protocol handlers by default. We then removed
everything related to the gnomevfs library.
Fast forward to now, and disabling Gio support in Firefox just doesn't
make sense, and leaving the gio protocol handler as an extension doesn't
make sense either.
As it is a protocol handler, its natural place is under
netwerk/protocol, which is where we're moving it here.
The netwerk/protocol subdirectories being handled automatically, we
don't need to add the moved directory in any DIRS variable.

By including the mozbase's moz.build directly in the root moz.build, we are making sure that
mozbase unittests will be found even if there is no build/objdir. This will be useful when
running mozbase tests in their own taskcluster task.

This patch tries to do three things:
1) Replace the ENABLE_MARIONETTE entrypoint with --enable-marionette.
2) Fold the default value -- forced on unless building for target OS
Android or building with toolkit gonk -- into the flag, rather than
embedding that condition in the tree.
3) Stop using AC_DEFINE and instead use only AC_SUBST, so that no
compiled code needs to be rebuilt if the flag is flipped locally.
n.b., each installer/Makefile.in knows that ENABLE_MARIONETTE is set
(in order to set -DENABLE_MARIONETTE=1 for
*/installer/package-manifest.in) due to it being an AC_SUBST.

This patch is really two separate changes.
The first change is that rust crates are large, standalone entities that
may contain multitudes of source files. It therefore doesn't make sense
to keep them in SOURCES, as we have been doing. Moving to use cargo
will require a higher-level approach, which suggests that we need a
different, higher-level representation for Rust sources in the build
system.
The representation here is to have the build system refer to things
defined in Cargo.toml files as the entities dealt with in the build
system, and let Cargo deal with the details of actually building things.
This approach means that adding a new crate to an existing library just
requires editing Rust and Cargo.toml files, rather than dealing with
moz.build, which seems more natural to Rust programmers. By having the
source files for libraries (and binaries in subsequent iterations of
this support) checked in to the tree, we can also take advantage of
Cargo.lock files.
The second is that we switch the core build system over to building via
cargo, rather than invoking rustc directly.
We also clean up a number of leftover things from the Old Way of doing
things. A number of tests are added to confirm that we'll only permit
crates to be built that have dependencies in-tree.

fix_stack_using_bpsyms.py locates a .sym file based on file name only, not uuid or full path,
which causes a failure if a duplicate leaf file name is introduced. This patch introduces a
small utility program on mac and linux to extract a breakpad guid from a shared library or
executable to identify the correct symbol file when this ambiguity occurs. A subsequent commit
implements this for windows.
A new configure option --with-devtools (which sets MOZ_DEVTOOLS) is added to
control whether all DevTools, just the server, or no DevTools are included.
This defaults to just the server.
Applications should also include /devtools within their moz.build tree, so that
DIST_SUBDIR is in effect for all DevTools files if it is used by the app.
The configure option has explicitly thrown an error for more than a year now,
and it happens that the remaining way to still forcefully use it has been
broken for more than 8 months.
