1365096 - [meta] Convert uses of NS_Get{Current,Main}Thread to Get{Current,Main}ThreadEventTarget

Status: NEW

(Core :: XPCOM, enhancement)

Description

[Bill McCloskey [inactive unless it's an emergency] (:billm)]

This is a meta bug to cover the conversion:

1. of NS_GetCurrentThread or NS_GetMainThread to GetCurrentThreadEventTarget or GetMainThreadEventTarget.
2. of thread equality checks to event target IsOnCurrentThread checks.

This will make things easier for the Quantum DOM project, since it will hide the fact that there can be multiple "main" threads that share a single main event loop.

I filed sub-bugs for the major pieces. There are also a number of uses in miscellaneous area (toolkit, storage, ipc) but not too many. I'll probably do one cleanup bug once the major ones are resolved.
