We have tons of ancient tools relating to memory usage that nobody uses. Lots of out-of-date documentation, too. I want to clean this up, partly so I can learn about still-useful tools, and partly just to reduce the amount of junk in the tree.

The new memory tool documentation is in progress. There's a new section at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Performance called "Memory profiling and leak detection tools". I'll add more stuff there shortly.
