This fixes a bunch of regressions:
- a wrong calculation in `GetIdleDeadlineHint()`, leading to pageload
regressions.
- in certain situations we'd use `StartupRefreshDriverTimer` instead
of `VsyncRefreshDriverTimer` when initializing timers early
- unnecessary use of `BrowserChild` on backends that don't opt for
per-browser-child vsync - i.e. all but Wayland.
This is partly done by reverting to pre-1645528 behaviour, although
with some code simplifications.
FTR: I also played with some more radical changes, but given the
complexity of the code involved I found the regression potential too
big. Thus this is the most conservative solution I could come up with.

To allow `requestAnimationFrame()` and similar things to run at monitor
speed if there is only a window-specific vsyncsource available.
This is the case for Wayland and, in the future, EGL/X11. Other backends
may opt for window specific vsyncsources as well at some point.
The idea is to, instead of using global vsync objects, expose a vsyncsource
from nsWindow and use it for refresh drivers. For the content process, move
VsyncChild to BrowserChild, so for each Browserchild there is only one
VsyncChild to which all refresh drivers connect.
IPC in managed either by PBrowser or PBackground. Right now, PBrowser is
only used on Wayland, as both PBrowser and the Wayland vsyncsource run
on the main thread. Other backends keep using the background thread for
now.
While at it, make it so that we constantly update the refresh rate. This
is necessary for Wayland, but also on other platforms variable refresh rates
are increasingly common. Do that by transimitting the vsync rate `SendNotify()`.
How to test:
- run the Wayland backend
- enable `widget.wayland_vsync.enabled`
- optionally: disable `privacy.reduceTimerPrecision`
- run `vsynctester.com` or `testufo.com`
Expected results:
Instead of fixed 60Hz, things should update at monitor refresh rate -
e.g. 144Hz

Current page load telemetry probes are insufficient in performance RUM testing. FX_PAGE_LOAD_MS_2 will stop the timer when the user switches tabs or navigates off the page, while the current navigation probes include all content including about:blank, about:newtab, moz-extension, etc. This patch adds support for the following probes which do not suffer from those limitations:
PERF_PAGE_LOAD_TIME_MS
PERF_PAGE_LOAD_TIME_FROM_RESPONSESTART_MS
PERF_DOM_CONTENT_LOADED_TIME_MS
PERF_DOM_CONTENT_LOADED_TIME_FROM_RESPONSESTART_MS

The `category.WithOptions(...)` syntax was a bit strange and difficult to explain.
Now the category and options are separate parameters. Default options can be specified with `MarkerOptions{}` or just `{}`.
As a special case, defaulted-NoPayload functions don't need `<>`, and defaulted-NoPayload functions and macros don't even need `{}` for default options, e.g.:
`profiler_add_marker("name", OTHER); PROFILER_MARKER_UNTYPED("name", OTHER);`

This creates a marker that starts when an observer is added and ends when it is removed.
If there are multiple observers at the same time, their markers overlap.
The current profiler markers API only lets us insert the marker once we know
both the start and the end timestamp. This means that, if a profile is captured
in the middle of a refresh observer's observation period, there will not be a
marker for that observer in the profile. This can be improved once we have a way
to emit separate start and end markers and a way to associate the correct markers
with each other (bug 1661114).

The name `AUTO_PROFILER_MARKER_TEXT` is more consistent with the equivalent non-`AUTO` macro, and similarly arguments have been re-ordered to be the same, i.e.: Name, category&options, text.
The different macros with different argument sets can now be collapsed into one macro, and the optional arguments (timing, inner window id, backtrace) can easily be added to the `MarkerOptions` where needed.
As a bonus, a specific start time can optionally be provided at construction time.

Also, when this is the only profiler call in a file, `#include "GeckoProfiler.h"` can be changed to `#include "mozilla/ProfilerMarkers.h"`.
