Details

A first step in getting rid of nested event loops is to fix the engines to use promises and tasks where they currently "wait" on nested event loops.  In other words, we need to convert a bunch of sync code to be async.  I admit I don't know the details because I don't know Sync code yet, but Mark's already done a lot of the work in an old patch here that we can use as a guide: https://github.com/mhammond/gecko-dev/commit/d752770f16a2aeea70eaf7a5baeb367881bf1a45

This bug is about breaking down into iteration-sized chunks of work what's required to basically port that patch to the current tree.
