Bug 1345424 - Add an isHandlingUserInput attribute to permission requests.

Details 
It would be helpful for future permission notification work if we had a way to tell if a permission request is the result of a user action or not.

The immediate use case would be bug 1334496 where we would like to turn on autofocus for permission notifications by default but might want to restrict stealing focus from content to when the user triggered the request.

This could also be helpful for implementing measures to combat permission notification spam (e.g. preventing on-load permission requests) though there are no concrete plans on how we would use it right now.

Bug 1345424 - Add an isHandlingUserInput attribute to permission requests.

Mike, this has been sitting in my queue for some time and I'd like to finally take the time to finish it up properly. This is a WIP patch that implements the functionality I'm interested in, though there are no tests yet.

Maybe you can provide some initial feedback on this? I'd also appreciate suggestions for potential reviewers for the DOM parts, I'll split up the commit as needed.

I'm also not sure how to handle the FlyWeb case right now. Can that even be user-triggered?

Oh I should also note that WebRTC doesn't seem to use nsIContentPermissionRequest and would therefore probably need to be solved separate to this bug.

Bug 1345424 - Add an isHandlingUserInput attribute to permission requests.

This looks like the right idea to me.

Part of me wonders whether we should take the onus of passing along the IsHandlingUserInput information away from the callers.

I wonder if it'd be possible to have a partial implementation of nsIContentPermissionRequest that the others can subclass from which would take care of detecting the user input state on instantiation?

Yeah, that makes sense. I'll look into it, thanks!
No longer blocks: 1334496

So I did not go for Mike's suggestion in this patch, partly because I'm not sure how to partially implement an IDL interface and partly because I don't feel that there's a lot of added complexity for implementors to justify this overhead. I hope that works for everyone :)

Ah, I forgot to note that the FlyWeb implementation here is just a dummy because we'll hopefully remove it in the next days in bug 1374574.

Smaug, can you take a look at the use of EventStateManager::IsHandlingUserInput() ?

Including EventStatemanager.h introduced a namespace conflict with mozilla::Position.
