proof of concept patch!

I am not really sure if we should add asyncFetch2() and update callsites or try handle everything within asyncFetch().

For example, we could check if the channel has a loadInfo and the proper security flags, then call asyncOpen2() on it. We could log deprecation warnings and make sure to update all callsites within Gecko.

Either way, we have to wait till Bug 1257339 brings back the right API on NetUtil.newChannel before we can move forward here.

This patch throws an exception if we can't call asyncOpen2(). We should remove that exception before landing, but it will help us make sure we have updated all the callsites within Gecko:

Jonas, browser_favicon_setAndFetchFaviconForPage.js would fail, because we don't support TYPE_IMAGE within the contentsecuritymanager yet. As a tmp workaround we could pass SEC_NORMAL which would allow us to use asyncOpen2() within asyncFetch(). Otherwise we would have to make this bug being blocked on the imgLoader conversion as well.

I lean towards falling back to SEC_NORMAL for now so we can use asyncOpen() within asyncFetch().

I still don't think this change is the better way to go. But as long as you make sure we fix it in a followup I can live with it.
