Patch Re-Order an base-browser'ification of Tor Browser for Android

Separate Android portion of #41807 (closed)

This will probably go to @clairehurst next spring, @pierov will be a useful resource there (feel free to edit this description to be more accurate )

The high-level idea is to orer/organize the firefox-android patchset in this relative order:

• firefox-android upstream
• security backports
• security patches
• privacy patches
• new non-tor specific functionality (eg security level)
• base-browser
• tor integration
• further tor-specific/dependent features
• tor-browser HEAD

Long term we should be able to build base-browser from firefox-android which references tor-browser/geckoview base-browser from which we can base mullvad-browser for Android (hi @ruihildt )

Well we were optimistic a year ago

I think we can kick this (base-browser'ification) to 14.5 and keep #43024 (closed) for 14.0.

We could work on low-hanging fruits that can simplify devs' lives for 14.0, with a priority that depends on how much they'll be simplified, but I don't think we have room for the big refactors (even though it'd be great to have constant small improvements).

Yeah I'm inclined to agree.
