Since the `restrictions`[1] array gets set to to null when no restrictions are provided, `shouldInject`[2] has to always check that the array is not null before checking if the correct restrictions are provided.  We should make the `restrictions` array non-nullable so these checks can be removed.

Bug 1302898 - Make the schema restrictions array non-nullable.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/78838/#review78098

This change looks good to me, but while we're at it, can we please rename this to something other than `restrictions`? The value doesn't add restrictions, it removes them. `contexts` might be better.

`@NotNull` is not a thing. The type alone, and the fact that the property is not optional, is enough.

Bug 1302898 - Rename 'restrictions' to 'allowedContexts'

Thanks!

The type should be `Array<string>`. And I'm not sure what "arbitrary" means here, or "the script is allowed to run in". I'd go with something like `A list of additional, restricted contexts in which this API should be available. May include any of:` ... followed by a list of context types we recognize and their descriptions.

It seems like this change would be required by the previous patch, rather than this one.

Same. The default values should probably be changed in the other patch, rather than this one.

(Diff revision 2)
> -      ns.defaultRestrictions = namespace.defaultRestrictions || null;

Same again.

And again.
