(Whiteboard: [fingerprinting])

Currently nsHttpHandler::UserAgent() uses nsContentUtils::ShouldResistFingerprinting() to know if we should use the spoofed user-agent. nsHttpHandler::UserAgent() can be called on the necko/networking thread, but nsContentUtils::ShouldResistFingerprinting() works only on main-thread and workers.
