It appears many uses of nsIURLClassifier.classifyLocalWithTables are on main thread and the function is synchronous. We should remove all of them. Works also include the IPC counter part.

Summary: Remove any use of nsIURLClassifier.classifyLocalWithTables → Remove any use of nsIURLClassifier.classifyLocalWithTables on the main thread
Given that the implementation of nsIURLClassifier.classifyLocalWithTables() [1] forces it to be called
on the main thread, we may in the end just remove this function.

We don't have any solution for this at this moment.
Put it to the backlog.

We wanted to remove all uses of the sync API: nsIURLClassifier.classifyLocalWithTables
and bug 1345058 used to be the last mile until we figured out we are unable to totally
get rid of it without an enormous work. 

We are taking the sub-optimal solution which will decrease the probability of using this API. 
In other words, fixing bug 1345058 doesn't mean we can remove the sync API.

The synchronous API is removed in Bug 1515272 because of fantastic work was done by baku in Bug 1514202.
