91820391f9 Bug 1298979 - Add ProxyMessenger, change message managers and getSender r=billm
- Introduce a proxy for IPC messages to allow the following APIs
  to be run out-of-process (ProxyMessenger):

    * runtime.connect
    * runtime.sendMessage
    * tabs.connect
    * tabs.sendMessage
    * runtime.onConnect
    * runtime.onMessage

- Update getSender in ext-tabs, make it independent of the context
  (in particular do not throw an error when a message is received while
  the tab is gone), and move it from MessageChannel to ProxyMessenger to
  make sure that it works in webext-oop. MessageChannel lives in a child
  process, whereas the TabManager (used by getSender) requires data from
  the main process.

- Set the third parameter of `addMessageListener` to true in some places
  to make sure that messages get delivered even after unloading the
  context. This is needed for the next two points.

- Put the `messageManager` property in BaseContext, and let it be set by
  `setContentWindow` - runtime.sendMessage/connect and tabs.sendMessage/
  connect depends on this property, and using the frame message manager
  makes sense.

- Unconditionally use the frame message manager in
  runtime.sendMessage/connect instead of sometimes the cpmm.

0167c8c6a2 Bug 1287010, 1286712 - Use schema-generated runtime API, split ext-runtime.js r=billm
- Use schema-generated runtime API for content scripts instead of
  untyped API.
- Move logic that cannot be run in the main process to a new file.

Together with the previous patch that migrated the i18n API, this
concludes the fix for bug 1286712.
