Previously on first `mach` run on a system, we'd display a prompt with a
20s countdown timer after which the default state directory
(~/.mozbuild) was created. Users had to wait 20s or ctrl+c and
make the directory by hand. Either way, they'd have to re-invoke
mach to run whatever command they were trying to run.
This was annoying.
This commit makes the following changes:
1) The countdown timer is replaced with "press RETURN/ENTER to continue"
2) The requirement to re-invoke mach has been removed
On first run, people now see a message telling them to press
RETURN/ENTER. Then the directory is created and whatever mach command
they requested to run is run.
While I was here, I also changed the permissions on the newly created
directory to match what it was a few lines above. Without, we're relying
on umask, which may be permissive. UNIX convention is to use a more
restrictive umask insider user directories. So this feels like the right
behavior.

We don't process IPDL and WebIDL files during artifact builds. The
backend shouldn't need to care about them.
Before: 2001 total backend files; 2001 created; 0 updated; 0 unchanged; 0 deleted
After: 1945 total backend files; 1945 created; 0 updated; 0 unchanged; 0 deleted
After this change, we no longer write any .cpp files to the objdir
during config.status for artifact builds.
As part of this, we stopped generated webidlsrcs.mk and the build broke
because of an unguarded use in a Makefile.
After this change, only 102/3366 files in the objdir after
`mach configure` are not a) in _virtualenv b) named backend.mk
c) named Makefile (~950 each of backend.mk and Makefile).

I can't think of a good reason why unified C++ files need to exist
during artifact builds. Let's not write them in this build config.
Before: 2517 total backend files; 2517 created; 0 updated; 0 unchanged; 0 deleted
After: 2001 total backend files; 2001 created; 0 updated; 0 unchanged; 0 deleted
No measureable change in performance on Linux. But on Windows where file
creation is in the ~1ms range, this will surely result in a speedup of
several hundred milliseconds.
We are still generating some .cpp files during artifact builds. This will be
addressed in subsequent commits.

The WindowsAddressSpaceReporter generates one memory report per segment, and
there can be 10,000+ segments.
This patch changes things so that one memory report is generated per segment
*kind* -- at most a couple of dozen -- rather than one per *segment*.
As previous measurements have shown, creating/appending files
on Windows/NTFS is slow because the CloseHandle() Win32 API takes
1-3ms to complete. This is apparently due to a fundamental issue
with NTFS extents. A way to work around this slowness is to use
multiple threads for I/O so file closing doesn't block execution
as much.
This commit updates the file copier to use a thread pool of 4
threads when processing file copies. Additional threads appear
to have diminishing returns.
On my i7-6700K, this reduces the time for processing the tests install
manifest (24,572 files) on Windows from ~22.0s to ~12.5s in the best
case.
Using the thread pool globally resulted in a performance regression
on Linux. Given the performance sensitivity of manifest copying,
I thought it best to implement a slightly redundant non-Windows
branch to preserve performance. For the record, that same machine
running Linux is capable of processing nearly the same install
manifest (24,616 files) in ~2.2s in the best case.
