The setting claims that it was for B2G.  I know we've been removing B2G-related
code, but this setting actually seems pretty generic, and therefore would be
valuable to retain, rather than removing it outright.  Maybe the JS GC people
would feel differently, asking Jon for feedback.

This gets set in mobile/android/confvars.sh. That needs to be reflected in mobile/android/moz.configure so it's not lost with this change.

We've talked about reducing the chunk size for other reasons (nursery per zone group) so I think this is worth retaining.

Good catch.  I think I'd prefer to set it in js/moz.configure, with some sort of checking for Android when choosing the default; that feels a little more inline with how we handle other configure options.  WDYT?

I would leave this patch as is, but simply add `imply_option('--enable-small-chunk-size', True)` to `android/moz.configure`. This is how we've done confvars.sh things so far, it preserves the behavior, because things set in confvars.sh override any attempts to set the option. 

Really though, allowing people to set/unset this in mozconfigs probably wouldn't do any real harm, I'll leave it up to you.
