nsIAtomService is barely used in Firefox, and used a small amount in Thunderbird. Getting rid of it will allow us to deCOMtaminate nsIAtom (bug 1392883).
Depends on: 1392989
Holy smokes, if a script passes a string to an interface that expects an nsIAtom, XPConnect will atomize the string!

(That explains why editor/libeditor/tests/test_bug1140105.html was succeeding even after I changed its atoms to strings.)

Once nsIAtom is made non-scriptable, that conversion code can be removed.
