Electrolysis support (Fennec 4+, future Firefox)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yet another nice-to-have...

Currently blocked by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621406 - we 
may have to find something other than stream conversion if Electrolysis 
(separate UI/content/plugin processes) is eventually coming to desktop Firefox, 
since that's apparently why it won't work in Fennec.

After some more casual reading it seems fairly straightforward to add support 
for electrolysis, next time I touch that area of code.

As a bonus, I've discovered Fennec 1.1 has no problem running already-released 
code, so will be updating AMO. :)

After some potentially brick-wall problems and a holiday to clear my head, the 
latest code is now ready for Electrolysis.

Tested and working in Firefox 5 to 7b1 and Fennec 5 to 7b1.

As it turned out to be a rather major code overhaul, next version will be 1.9 
and might include a few other features I've had ideas about.
