We have a lot of actor-specific logic in the perf connection, where we deal with polling for allocations, massaging the timeline events into one event, a whole bunch of profiler work-around magic, making all RDP calls directly with a _request method, determining if we need to use a mock actor, etc.

These should all be handled elsewhere, with the performance connection just piecing together these different sources.

The impetus for this was wanting an event for the profiler for the buffer state, and so I cleaned things up a bit.

Made the actor APIs consistent as well -- each have start/stop. Polling for allocation sites is now an event listened to on the connection. From here we can also do compatibility data massaging for older geckos.

This is very nice. I've had a good day.

Had to do a good rebase.

This is basically r+, but I'm waiting for bug 1160516 because I can't build again. Stand by, investigating, shouldn't take long.

I'm just noticing this now, why is Promise imported twice??!

We still need some way to test this. Need to make sure it's the same shared connection everytime. The way we checked this was pretty horrible, granted, but this has to be replaced with something else.

Removing this. I hate lowercase `promise`, not to mention no indication of which "promise" this is

Adding a test, this is a better way:

is(panel.panelWin.gFront._connection, sharedConnection,
  "The same shared profiler connection is used by the panel's front.");
