This patch simplifies nsStaticCaseInsensitiveNameTable greatly by taking
advantage of the following observations.
- |new| is infallible, so |new nsStaticCaseInsensitiveNameTable()| calls don't
need their return value checked.
- nsStaticCaseInsensitiveNameTable::Init() checks if any of the added entries
differ only in case, so the callers of that function don't need to do the
same check.
- nsStaticCaseInsensitiveNameTable::Init() never returns false because
moz_xmalloc() is infallible. (Its callers never check the return value
anyway.) So it can be merged into the constructor. And
~nsStaticCaseInsensitiveNameTable() need not null-check |mNameArray|.
- PLDHashTable now has an initializing constructor and destructor, so these can
be used in nsStaticCaseInsensitiveNameTable, thus avoiding manual
PLD_HashTable{Init,Finish}() calls.
It's no longer needed now that entry storage isn't allocated there. (The other
possible causes of failures in that function are less interesting and simply
crashing is a reasonable thing to do for them.)
This also makes PL_DNewHashTable() infallible, so I removed some
now-unnecessary checks of its result.
I kept all the existing PL_DHashTableAdd() calls fallible, in order to be
conservative, except for the ones in nsAtomTable.cpp which already were
followed immediately by an abort on failure.

This also makes PL_DNewHashTable() infallible.
It feels safer to use a function with a new name, rather than just changing the
behaviour of the existing function.
For most of these cases the PL_DHashTableLookup() result was checked with
PL_DHASH_ENTRY_IS_{FREE,BUSY} so the conversion was easy. A few of them
preceded that check with a useless null check, but the intent of these was
still easy to determine.
I'll do the trickier ones in subsequent patches.
Currently the setting of PLDHashTable::ops is very haphazard.
- PLDHashTable has no constructor, so it's not auto-nulled, so lots of places
null it themselves.
- In the fallible PLDHashTable::Init() function, if the entry storage
allocation fails we'll be left with a table that has |ops| set -- indicating
it's been initialized -- but has null entry storage. I'm not certain this can
cause problems but it feels unsafe, and some (but not all) callers of Init()
null it on failure.
- PLDHashTable does not null |ops| in Finish(), so some (but not all) callers
do this themselves.
This patch makes things simpler.
- It adds a constructor that zeroes |ops|.
- It modifies Init() so that it only sets |ops| once success is ensured.
- It zeroes |ops| in Finish().
- Finally, it removes all the now-unnecessary |ops| nulling done by the users
of PLDHashTable.
This makes sense since the file no longer contains anything with the
nsTraceRefcnt name in it, and it will allow renaming nsTraceRefcntImpl
back to nsTraceRefcnt.
