We have 2 ways to import JSM. `Cu.import` and `ChromeUtils.import`.

`ChromeUtils.import` returns exports object, but `Cu.import` returns global object.
The former supports lexical variables, but the latter doesn't have them, so
the former requires variables defined on the JSM's global this property.

To achieve bug 1610653, we should replace `Cu.import` with `ChromeUtils.import`,
and then deprecate `Cu.import`, to avoid future confusion.
