Details
(Whiteboard: [MemShrink:P2][overhead:?])
Currently, extension API scripts run in a dedicated Sandbox global (rather than the plain object contexts from a JSM that they used to run in), which means that they incur a lot of wrapper overhead when communicating with the rest of the framework. We need to update them to run in the context of a normal JSM scope instead. The main issue here is that those scripts are loaded using the ScriptPreloader, which currently only supports execution in the context of a global, not a non-syntactic scope. We need to update it to accept a non-syntactic scope, with awareness of existing JSM non-syntactic scopes, and possibly allow it to create a NSVO scope of its own.
