This also fixes the Unix part of bug 678369, and fixes bug 147659 as a
convenient side-effect of using LaunchApp (which has the desired
fd-closing behavior already) rather than directly using fork/exec.
The main goal is to work around bug 227246, where PR_CreateProcess on
Unix interferes with anything else that tries to use child processes.
This does not fix that bug -- NSPR will still cause problems if used in
that way -- but it's an adequate workaround for that bug in Gecko in
almost all cases (the one known exception is nsAuthSambaNTLM, which uses
NSPR directly and needs to be fixed separately).
Waiting for the child process uses waitpid() directly, sharing the
existing code used for OS X.

Currently the Gecko Profiler defines a moderate amount of stuff when
MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER is undefined. It also #includes various headers, including
JS ones. This is making it difficult to separate Gecko's media stack for
inclusion in Servo.
This patch greatly simplifies how things are exposed. The starting point is:
- GeckoProfiler.h can be #included unconditionally;
- everything else from the profiler must be guarded by MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER.
In practice this introduces way too many #ifdefs, so the patch loosens it by
adding no-op macros for a number of the most common operations.
The net result is that #ifdefs and macros are used a bit more, but almost
nothing is exposed in non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds (including
ProfilerMarkerPayload.h and GeckoProfiler.h), and understanding what is exposed
is much simpler than before.
Note also that in BHR, ThreadStackHelper is now entirely absent in
non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds.
This adds an attribute 'noShell' to nsIProcess that is used to launch a process
using CreateProcess() if we are sure we are launching an executable and don't
require the extra work of the Windows shell service.

It's silly to use prmem.h within Firefox code given that in our configuration
its functions are just wrappers for malloc() et al. (Indeed, in some places we
mix PR_Malloc() with free(), or malloc() with PR_Free().)
This patch removes all uses, except for the places where we need to use
PR_Free() to free something allocated by another NSPR function; in those cases
I've added a comment explaining which function did the allocation.
NS_SetCurrentThreadName() is added as an alternative to PR_SetCurrentThreadName()
inside libxul. The thread names are collected in the form of crash annotation to
be processed on socorro.

As far as I can tell, this covers all the remaining threads which we start
using PR_CreateThread, except the ones that are created inside NSPR or NSS,
and except for the Shutdown Watchdog thread in nsTerminator.cpp and the
CacheIO thread. The Shutdown Watchdog thread stays alive past leak detection
during shutdown (by design), so we'd report leaks if we profiled it. The
CacheIO thread seems to stay alive past shutdown leak detection sometimes as
well.
This adds a AutoProfilerRegister stack class for easy registering and
unregistering. There are a few places where we still call
profiler_register_thread() and profiler_unregister_thread() manually, either
because registration happens conditionally, or because there is a variable that
gets put on the stack before the AutoProfilerRegister (e.g. a dynamically
generated thread name). AutoProfilerRegister needs to be the first object on
the stack because it uses its own `this` pointer as the stack top address.

The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.
CLOSED TREE makes big refactorings like this a piece of cake.

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.
