When people write:
array.AppendElement(nsDependentString(...));
(resp. nsDependentCString), it's not clear whether they expect the newly
constructed dependent string to live in the array, or whether they're
just making a nsString-like holder whose contents can be freely copied
into the array's newly-created nsString. Sometimes the latter is what
you prefer, and sometimes the former. In all cases, however, the latter
behavior is what you get.
Let's try to make that behavior more explicit by pre-constructing
nsString elements and then using Assign to show that copying is taking
place. This patch involves no functional change in behavior (it ought
to be epsilon faster due to using AppendElements, rather than repeatedly
calling AppendElement).
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.

Leave a typedef for compatibility. nsVariant will be defined as a
separate class in the next patch.
Also, remove an obsolete comment and fix some whitespace.
There are many sub-classes of nsExpirationTracker. In order to distinguish them
nicely in the logging of timer firings, it's necessary to manually name each
one. (This wouldn't be necessary if there was a way to stringify template
parameters, but there isn't.)
The patch removes 455 occurrences of FAIL_ON_WARNINGS from moz.build files, and
adds 78 instances of ALLOW_COMPILER_WARNINGS. About half of those 78 are in
code we control and which should be removable with a little effort.
After this change, we have ShallowSizeOf{In,Ex}cludingThis(), which don't do
anything to measure children. (They can be combined with iteration to measure
children.)
And we still have the existing single-arg SizeOf{In,Ex}cluding() functions,
which work if the entry type itself defines SizeOfExcludingThis().
After this change, we have PLDHashTable::ShallowSizeOf{In,Ex}cludingThis(),
which don't do anything to measure children. (They can be combined with
iteration to measure children.)
This patch also removes the PL_DHashTableSizeOf{In,Ex}cludingThis() functions.
They're not necessary because the methods can be used instead.
Finally, the patch deliberately converts some SizeOfExcludingThis() calls to
SizeOfIncludingThis(). These are all done on heap pointers so this change is
valid.
nsCheapSet is used little enough that I didn't bother creating an iterator for
it.
I removed the dependency on PLDHashOperator by introducing nsCheapSetOperator,
which is equivalent.
nsDiscriminatedUnion owns memory without using smart pointers, so implementing anything
that would copy or move around one of these will require some care. Just forbid these
for now.
The existing nsDiscriminateUnions either always call Cleanup() when they
are about to go away, or they only handle scalar values so it is safe to
call Cleanup() on them without worrying about another discriminated union
having taken over any memory owned by this union.
