They are kept around for the sake of the standalone glue, which is used
for e.g. webapprt, which doesn't have direct access to jemalloc, and thus
still needs a wrapper to go through the xpcom function list and get to
jemalloc from there.
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.

Because they are now just equivalent to |new PLDHashTable()| +
PL_DHashTableInit() and PL_DHashTableFinish(t) + |delete t|, respectively.
They're only used in a handful of places and obscure things more than they
clarify -- I only recently worked out exactly how they different from Init()
and Finish().
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.
