All prefs that need to be sent to a new content process are now put into the
shared memory segment, and they are identified by the pref name instead of an
index into a list. The old IPC used at process startup (in XPCOMInitData) is
removed.
Benefits:
- It removes the need for the early prefs list
(dom/ipc/ContentProcesses.{h,cpp}) and the associated checking, which is ugly
and often trips people up (e.g. bug 1432979, bug 1439406).
- Using prefnames instead of indices fixes some fragility (fixing bug 1419432).
- It fixes the problem of early prefs being installed as unlocked default
values even if they are locked and/or have user values.

These files only use references to string types, e.g. "nsAString&", so they
only need forward-declarations of these types -- not the full definition.
Note that the last file here (nsStyleUtil.h) already has an #include for
nsStringFwd.h, which is why that files change is just a pure removal (of the
unnecessary nsString.h #include).

This code is used to detect too-early accesses of prefs in content processes.
The patch makes the following changes.
- New terminology: "early" prefs are those sent via the command line; "late"
prefs are those sent via IPC. Previously the former were "init" prefs and the
latter didn't have a clear name.
- The phase tracking and checking is now almost completely encapsulated within
Preferences.cpp. The only exposure to outside code is via the
AreAllPrefsSetInContentProcess() method, which has a single use.
- The number of states tracked drops from 5 to 3. There's no need to track the
beginning of the pref-setting operations, because we only need to know if
they've finished. (This also avoids the weirdness where we could transition
from END_INIT_PREFS back to BEGIN_INIT_PREFS because of the way -intPrefs,
-boolPrefs and -stringPrefs were parsed separately.)

This patch was generated automatically by the "modeline.py" script, available
here: https://github.com/amccreight/moz-source-tools/blob/master/modeline.py
For every file that is modified in this patch, the changes are as follows:
(1) The patch changes the file to use the exact C++ mode lines from the
Mozilla coding style guide, available here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Coding_Style#Mode_Line
(2) The patch deletes any blank lines between the mode line & the MPL
boilerplate comment.
(3) If the file previously had the mode lines and MPL boilerplate in a
single contiguous C++ comment, then the patch splits them into
separate C++ comments, to match the boilerplate in the coding style.

This ensures that we don't read incorrect values out of the gPropertyEnabled
array simply because we haven't gotten preference values from the parent process
yet.

This patch is generated by the following commands (note: if you're running
using OS X's sed, which accepts slightly different flags, you'll have to
specify an actual backup suffix in -i, or use gsed from Homebrew):
hg stat -c \
| cut -c 3- \
| tr '\n' '\0' \
| xargs -0 -P 8 gsed --follow-symlinks 's/\bnsCSSProperty\b/nsCSSPropertyID/g' -i''
Then:
hg mv layout/style/nsCSSProperty.h layout/style/nsCSSPropertyID.h
... and finally, manually renaming nsCSSProperty in the include guard in
nsCSSProperty.h.
