This patch does a lot. The main points:

* s/GeckoEmbed/GeckoKit/ because of...reasons?
* The GeckoKit target builds a framework, with the main executable (dylib) being XUL. This means we won't use mozglue to load XUL. Performance on the device seems more than fine for this, and it dramatically simplifies things.
* Control the objdir and mozconfig via build-gecko.sh. This lets you change your scheme in Xcode and just hit the 'Run' button.
* Add a GeckoUIViewExample application which shows how you can use GeckoUIView. It contains a simple location bar with back/forward buttons.

I rolled the widget changes from bug 1213964 into this single giant patch for maximum unreadability.

I dunno why I let this sit so long, I don't actually care about the contents of this patch I just want you to land it. :)

I don't really want to review any of this. If it builds and runs on device that's fine with me, land it.
