/**
* CHILD ONLY.
* Called by Necko client in child process during OnStartRequest to divert
* nsIStreamListener and nsIRequest callbacks to the parent process.
*
* The process should look like the following:
*
* 1) divertToParent is called in the child process. It can only be called
* during OnStartRequest().
*
* 2) The ChannelDiverterChild that is returned is an IPDL object. It should
* be passed via some other IPDL method of the client's choosing to the
* parent. On the parent the ChannelDiverterParent's divertTo() function
* should be called with an nsIStreamListener that will then receive the
* OnStartRequest/OnDataAvailable/OnStopRequest for the channel. The
* ChannelDiverterParent can then be deleted (which will also destroy the
* ChannelDiverterChild in the child).
*
* After divertToParent() has been called, NO further function calls
* should be made on the channel. It is a dead object for all purposes.
* The reference that the channel holds to the listener in the child is
* released is once OnStartRequest completes, and no other
* nsIStreamListener calls (OnDataAvailable, OnStopRequest) will be made
* to it.
*
* @return ChannelDiverterChild IPDL actor to be passed to parent process by
* client IPDL message, e.g. PClient.DivertUsing(PDiverterChild).
*
* @throws exception if the channel was canceled early. Throws status code of
* canceled channel.
