The current API of AddonWatcher only supports a single callback. That's pretty unfriendly to testing, debugging, add-ons, etc.
This patch replaces the mechanism with a notification through the nsIObserverService.
Showing alerts more than once is annoying for the user and basically
useless. We therefore change a bit our strategy:
- if an add-on has behaved correctly for the last 5 minutes, reset our counter of offences;
- don't display alerts for an add-on more than once per 6 hours.
The only exception is if the add-on freezes the browser (i.e. causes
it to stop for more than 5 seconds at a time), in which case we
display the alert regardless of past offences, up to once per 10
minutes.

In a following patch, all DevTools moz.build files will use DevToolsModules to
install JS modules at a path that corresponds directly to their source tree
location. Here we rewrite all require and import calls to match the new
location that these files are installed to.
