This patch adds support for a "non-private" window flag which can be
used to open new chrome windows in non-private mode in per-window
private browsing builds. It also tests to make sure that the flag is
not accessible from content.
The main bug fixed here is that in half of our interfaces, we use "is browser frame/element" to mean "browser or app", and in the other half, we use it to mean "is browser not app".
There's a related, functional bug also fixed here, which is that a browser process doesn't inherit its parent's app-id. This causes problems e.g. for IndexedDB: If a browser inside an app uses IndexedDB, the DB should have the app's app-id.
I also modified Tab{Parent,Child} and nsFrameLoader to call "app" "ownOrContainingApp", to emphasize that we might have inherited the app from a parent process. I left nsIDocShell::appId alone, because changing that would have necessitated changing nsILoadGroup and therefore a /lot/ of users in Necko; it's also not clear it would have clarified anything in those cases.

This patch adds support for a "private" window flag which can be used to
open new chrome windows in private browsing mode. It also tests to make
sure that the flag is not accessible from content. A test in the next
part makes sure that the flag is accessible from chrome.
WouldReuseInnerWindow also returns true if the new window is same-origin with
the old one about:blank document.
This condition exists in order to handle some sloppiness with respect to the
principals on initial about:blank documents. Chrome callers sometimes parent
chrome windows (with XUL document) to content windows. But this parenting causes
us to push the cx of the content window during window creation, meaning that
the subsequent load of chrome://foo.xul blows away the old inner window and any
expandos on it. We can handle this case more precisely by skipping the cx push
for type="chrome" windows.
Furthermore, this was also necessary to prevent the inner window from being
blown away in the call to SetOpenerScriptPrincipal once nsWindowWatcher gets
the window back from the window creator (and after it's already told consumers
about the window via "domwindowcreated"). But we fixed this nastiness in the
previous patches.
So we can remove this case. By doing so, we can prevent inner windows from ever
changing origins, which is very important for compartment security invariants.
