(patch is actually r=erahm,mystor)
nsTFixedString<T> is only used as a base class for nsTAutoStringN<T, N>, so
this patch merges the former into the latter, cutting some code and simplifying
the string class hierarchy.
Because the "Fixed" name is now gone, the patch also renames
StringDataFlags::FIXED as INLINE and ClassDataFlags::FIXED as INLINE.
The patch also removes nsFixed[C]String and ns_auto_[c]string! from Rust code
because nsAutoString can't be implemented directly in Rust due to its move
semantics. There were only two uses of ns_auto_string! outside of tests so this
seems like a minor loss.

nsTSubstring.cpp is calling RoundUpPow2 which is defined in MathAlgorithms.h.
Without this, we get a build failure in non-unified builds.

This removes the double-include macro hackery that we use to define two
separate string types (nsAString and nsACString) in favor of a templated
solution.
Annotations for Valgrind and the JS hazard analysis are updated as well as
the rust binding generations for string code.
I actually couldn't figure out a way to trigger this assertion with the
current string code without doing invalid casts, but there are things we
may want to add to the string code in the future that might risk hitting
this (e.g., move constructors, promoting various rebind methods to
nsA[C]String), so I think it's worth asserting.

This requires some adjustment to Equals(). Previously, when you wrote:
fooString.Equals(barString + bazString)
you'd get a tuple for the operator+, which implicitly converts to nsTSubstring, which resolves into nsTSubstring::Equals(const nsTSubstring&).
Now that Equals has moved one level up:
nsTStringRepr::Equals(const nsTStringRepr&)
The compiler can't make the double-leap from nsTSubstringTuple -> nsTSubstring -> nsTStringRepr.
So I implemented this manually.

All nsTStringRepr methods must be const, so the mutators remain on nsTSubstring.
I left a small number of const methods on nsTSubstring, e.g. Capacity(), the rationale being that you would only be interested in this method if you intend to mutate the string.
I considered splitting up the typedefs block and leaving behind the ones related to mutation (e.g. nsWritingIterator) but I think it makes for clearer documentation to have them all in one place.

I've named it after the similar ns(C)StringRepr in the rust bindings code.
This is just the minimal definition of the structure. Bulk move of methods coming in next patch.

The patch changes all uses of SizeOfIncludingThisMustBeUnshared() to
SizeOfIncludingThisIfUnshared(). This incurs the (tiny) cost of an unnecessary
IsReadonly() check for guaranteed-unshared strings, but avoids the possible
assertion failures that would occur when MustBeUnshared() was used incorrectly
on shared strings, which is an easy mistake to make.
We have better, C++-ier ways of doing compile-time assertions now. Fold in the
nsTSubstring.cpp change in passing, since mccr8 suggested it in his review.
