Change Description
Added display for Lox source in "about:preferences#connection", and updated the "user-provide" dialog to accept Lox invites.
How Tested
The Lox module doesn't seem to be responding to creating new invites, so I have two fake instances of Lox in connectionPane.js and provideBridgeDialog.js. Comment out the Lox import and comment in the fake object instead.
In connectionPane.js you can play around with the fake Lox internals and call gLoxStatus._updateUnlocks() and gLoxStatus._updateInvites().
In provideBridgeDialog.js it will treat any line that starts with "lox-invite" as if it were a lox invite. Try different text entries to generate different errors. You can also set Lox.failError to set the error that the Lox module should respond with for a single invite.
