Jim Chen 9a572bbbff Bug 1062377 - Rewrite GeckoBackgroundThread to not wait for thread start if possible; r=rnewman
When GeckoBackgroundThread is first used, it starts a new thread and waits for a Handler. This can delay startup. Instead, we can just save the Runnable and run it when the thread is starting.
