(Whiteboard: [necko-backlog]) 

For bug 1334550 "Proxy moz-extension protocol requests to the parent process", the parent process sends a file descriptor for a JAR file to the child so that the child can resolve moz-extension URI's to resources within the JAR file.

The current approach uses a bare-bones nsIFile implementation that supports being instantiated from a file descriptor. That nsIFile is then sideloaded into a nsJARChannel.

It would be simpler/cleaner if we could create a JAR channel backed by a file descriptor so that we wouldn't have to use the nsIFile implementation.
