nsSystemInfo::Init() is main thread only, on Windows. It would make it easier to notice violations of this by adding a main thread assert on all platforms.

Bug 1350690 - Add main thread assertion to nsSystemInfo::Init().

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/124716/#review127238

I'm not necessarily opposed to this, but is this any easier to notice than the `MOZ_CRASH` calls in the observer service itself?  I guess the assert is more immediately obvious.

The point is that on non-Windows platforms nsSystemInfo::Init() does not use the observer service, so there will be no assertion without my patch. This is annoying if you are only testing on Linux or OSX.
