Morphing this into the "blocklist unification" bug. The idea here is that I want a single in-tree location for blocklist descriptors of all types. We add a Python script to the build system that reads this unified descriptor file and generates the appropriate sources for each type. Each generated descriptor file will be sorted so that we can do a binary search.

Initial descriptor types:

* All process DLL Blocks
* Parent Process DLL Blocks
* Child Process DLL Blocks
* Winsock LSPs
* A11y clients

(Note that the resulting lists generated by the script should contain the union of applicable descriptor types. eg the child process descriptors would be the union of the all process list and the child process list.)
