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.

The problematic class is AtomicRefCountedWithFinalize, from gfx/layers/;
I don't know all the details for why that class is written the way it
is, but it is simpler to make nsRefPtr work the same way as
mozilla::RefPtr in this case.
A number of places depend on RefPtr.h providing this function. When we
s/RefPtr/nsRefPtr/, such places still need to be able to see this
function. Moving it to nsRefPtr.h makes it still visible before we
switch (since RefPtr.h includes nsRefPtr.h), and after we switch (since
every place that #includes RefPtr.h will now be #including nsRefPtr.h).
Various bits depend on RefPtr.h to provide RefCounted<T> and RefPtr<T>.
It will be easier to manage an automatic conversion from RefPtr<T> to
nsRefPtr<T> if we split out the dependency on RefCounted<T> first.
RefPtr.h's byref permits callees to see the incoming value of the
outparam; XPCOM's getter_AddRefs zeros outparams prior to the call, so
information doesn't leak through inadvertently. Given this difference,
we need to eliminate tests that depended on this (arguably dangerous)
behavior. The numerous assertion fixups are required because we're
removing construction and destruction of objects along the way.
