When Firefox downloads an update, it previously kept the update around to apply
it on the next restart. This patch changes this so that the updater program
is launched in the background as soon as the update has finished downloading
in order to stage the updated version of the application by copying the
existing installation directory to a temporary location and applying the update
on top of it, and replace the existing installation directory with the staged
directory on the next restart.
Because the replacing step is typically very fast, this patch eliminates the
wait for the update to be applied on restart, making it unnecessary to show a
progress dialog when restarting.

This part replaces the JSContext *cx argument in most GC-related API
with JSRuntime *rt. When possible, the patch removes the code to obtain
a temporary cx just to run the GC.
The patch also removes JS_DestroyContextMaybeGC. That function is not
used in FF code base and its implementation is broken. It requires that
the context has an entered compartment when it is destroyed, which in
turns implies a missing leave compartment call.
In just 2 cases where JSPrincipals::codebase is used it can be reconstructed from the values stored in the associated nsJSPrincipal. In addition the patch makes nsJSprincipals to inherit both from nsIPrincipal and JSPrincipals allowing to use static_cast to convert between nsIPrincipal and JSPrincipals pointers and to drop many cases of manual JSPrincipal reference counting.
xpcfix -epc `find | grep -P "cpp$|h$" | perl -pe 's/\n/ /'`
This is a conservative pass, which doesn't catch absolutely all cases. But it should be good enough.
