This patch is bigger than I'd like it to be, but there are a lot of interlocked
dependencies and I eventually decided it was easier to just lump it together.
The semantics of |showModalDialog|/|window.dialogArguments| (an web-exposed
HTML5 feature) and |openDialog|/|window.arguments| (a XUL-proprietary feature)
are quite different. The former is essentially a security-checked JSVal, while
the latter gets converted into an array. We handled them together in the old
world, which led to a lot of confusion and muddled semantics. This patch
separates them.
This patch also eschews the roundabout resolve hook for dialogArguments in favor
of returning them directly from the XPIDL getter. This better matches the
behavior in the spec, especially because it allows dialogArguments to live on
the outer as they're supposed to, rather than the first inner that happens to
end up in the docshell. All in all, this should make this all very
straightforward to convert WebIDL when the time comes.
The current spec on the origin checks here is pretty fictional, so I've filed
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21932 to fix it. This patch
should more or less preserve the current security behavior.

There's no reason it has to fail if there's no mDoc, since any document is promptly
blown away with the new about:blank document.
The indempotence is important because we want to be able to call this method
unconditionally in OpenJSWindowInternal (since we may not have gone through
RegisterTopLevelWindow) without worrying about whether we've called it already.
We can remove the fallback to the principal of aParent because we already push the
cx for aParent (callerContextGuard) whenever we're concerned about using its principal.
This doesn't change any functionality in the code. Note that the name is currently
a bit of a misnomer, but we change that in the next patch when we rip out the
arguments.
