This makes the code nicer. In particular, it removes many getter_Copies()
calls. The patch also converts a lot of nsCStrings to nsAutoCString, which will
avoid heap allocation in the common case.
The patch also renames PREF_CopyCharPref() as PREF_GetCStringPref(), because
it's actually getting a string, not a char, and that matches the existing
GetCString() and GetDefaultCString() methods. Correspondingly, it also renames
PREF_SetCharPref() as PREF_SetCStringPref().
The |aPrefName| arguments in nsIPrefBranch.idl remain as |string| because they
almost always involve passing in C string literals, and passing "foo" is much
nicer than passing NS_LITERAL_CSTRING("foo").
It's worth noting that early versions of this patch used |AUTF8String| instead
of |ACString|. But it turns out that libpref stores prefs internally as Latin1.
And |ACString| is compatible with Latin1 but |AUTF8String| isn't, because
non-ASCII Latin1 strings are not valid UTF-8!

nsHttpHandler is designed only for `getService` but we do not protect against `createInstance`.
The singleton of nsHttpHandler will be replaced by new instance created via `createInstance`.
gHttpHandler will hold a dangling pointer after the new instance is destroyed.

These are all easy cases where an nsXPIDLCString local variable is set via
getter_Copies() and then is null checked. The patch uses IsVoid() to replace
the null checks (and get() and EqualsLiteral() calls to replace any implicit
conversions).

Most of these fields are not using any nsXPIDLCString-specific features.
The exceptions are mUserAgentOverride and mDefaultSocketType, which require a
little more care.

This is similar like the previous patch, but for the 8-bit string variants.
Also, it changes assignment to Adopt() in GetCString() and GetDefaultCString()
to avoid an extra copy.

This is basically a cosmetic change; references are the normal way to do string
outparams.

Add a field to the HSTS cache which indicates the source of the HSTS
entry if known, from the preload list, organically seen header, or HSTS
priming, or unknown otherwise. Also adds telemetry to collect the source
when upgrading in NS_ShouldSecureUpgrade.

This patch makes nsHttpHandler to use a spoofed userAgent in the User-Agent header
when 'privacy.resistFingerprinting' is true, the spoofed userAgent string has a
fixed appName, platform and buildID. The only variant in it is the version number,
it will be rounded to the nearest 10(e.g. 40, 50, 60) for reducing fingerprinting
across release versions.

UAOverridesBootstrapper.js is introduced to delay the initialization of
UserAgentOverrides.jsm until the creation of the first nsHttpChannel.
Uninit will be triggered at profile-change-net-teardown because no network
