Bug 41988: Wait to hide content titles.

Hiding content titles from window titles is a hard solution to the
possibly unlikely disk leak it could cause.
Therefore, we are waiting a little bit to actually enable it.

This commit implmenents the the Base Browser's version of _migrateUI.

Bug 42182: avoid reloading any search engine extension.

This component adds a new Security Level toolbar button which visually
indicates the current global security level via icon (as defined by the
extensions.torbutton.security_slider pref), a drop-down hanger with a
short description of the current security level, and a new section in
the about:preferences#privacy page where users can change their current
security level. In addition, the hanger and the preferences page will
show a visual warning when the user has modified prefs associated with
the security level and provide a one-click 'Restore Defaults' button to
get the user back on recommended settings.

This hides it from both the toolbar and the unified extensions panel.

We also hide the unified-extension-button if the panel would be empty:
not including the NoScript button when it is hidden. As a result, this
will be hidden by default until a user installs another extension (or
shows the NoScript button and unpins it).

Bug 40253: Explicitly allow NoScript in Private Browsing mode.

Firefox strings use { -brand-product-name }.
As a result, it seems that the fork is recommending extensions, whereas
AMO curators are doing that.
So, we replace the strings with custom ones that clarify that Mozilla is
recommending them.

We assign the strings with JS because our translation backend does not
support Fluent attributes, yet, but once it does, we should switch to
them, instead.

not change), e.g., after a minor Base Browser update.

Bug 26048: potentially confusing "restart to update" message

Within the update doorhanger, remove the misleading message that mentions
that windows will be restored after an update is applied, and replace the
"Restart and Restore" button label with an existing
"Restart to update Tor Browser" string.

Bug 28885: notify users that update is downloading

Add a "Downloading Base Browser update" item which appears in the
hamburger (app) menu while the update service is downloading a MAR
file. Before this change, the browser did not indicate to the user
that an update was in progress, which is especially confusing in
Tor Browser because downloads often take some time. If the user
clicks on the new menu item, the about dialog is opened to allow
the user to see download progress.

As part of this fix, the update service was changed to always show
update-related messages in the hamburger menu, even if the update
was started in the foreground via the about dialog or via the
"Check for Tor Browser Update" toolbar menu item. This change is
consistent with the Tor Browser goal of making sure users are
informed about the update process.

Removed #28885 parts of this patch which have been uplifted to Firefox.

Treat about:blank as the default home page and new tab page.

Avoid loading AboutNewTab in BrowserGlue.sys.mjs in order
to avoid several network requests that we do not need.

Bug 41624: Disable about:pocket-* pages.

Bug 40144: Redirect about:privatebrowsing to the user's home

MOZ_SOURCE_URL is created by combining MOZ_SOURCE_REPO and
MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET.
But the code takes for granted that it refers to a Hg instance, so it
combines them as `$MOZ_SOURCE_REPO/rev/$MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET`.
With this commit, we change this logic to combine them to create a URL
that is valid for GitLab.
$MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET needs to be a commit hash, not a branch or a tag.
If that is needed, we could use /-/tree/, instead of /-/commit/.

Change the language selector to be sorted by language code, rather than
name, and to display the language code to the user.

Bug 41372: Handle Japanese as a special case in preferences on macOS

Japanese is treated in a special way on macOS. However, seeing the
Japanese language tag could be confusing for users, and moreover the
language name is not localized correctly like other langs.

Bug 41378: Tell users that they can change their language at the first start

With multi-lingual builds, Tor Browser matches the user's system
language, but some users might want to change it.
So, we tell them that it is possible, but only once.

Avoid regional OS locales if the pref

Many fonts have issues with their vertical metrics. they
are used to influence the height of ascenders and depth
of descenders. Gecko uses it to calculate the line height
(font height + ascender + descender), however because of
that idiosyncratic behavior across multiple operating
systems, it can be used to identify the user's OS.

The solution proposed in the patch uses a default factor
to be multiplied with the font size, simulating the concept
of ascender and descender. This way all operating
systems will have the same line height.

It looks like these cases should only be invoked in the NSS command line
tools, and not the browser, but I decided to patch them anyway because there
literally is a maze of network function pointers being passed around, and it's
very hard to tell if some random code might not pass in the proper proxied
versions of the networking code here by accident.
