1161677 - [Spark] Expose dev mode state read-only through the navigator.hasFeature() api

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Customizer, defect, P1)

Description

[Justin D'Arcangelo [:justindarc]]

As suggested here ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1160235#c5 ), we need to be able to mirror the value of the `dom.apps.developer_mode` pref to a setting that's readable by apps.

As per the discussion from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1160235#c11, this use case is going to be achieved by exposing dev mode state read-only through the navigator.hasFeature() api.

Ehsan, this is a simple mapping from a pref to a feature.  We need to expose the pref read-only to apps so we can't use the settings api for that.
