Details

After bug 1459004, the built_in_addons.json file is created by loading in several install manifests and looking for certain file patterns. The script to do this is quite slow and not portable to other backends. The tup backend has a different approach from bug 1451521 that generates the file during the build-backend generation. We should generalize this approach and use it for all backends. Since all the information we need for built_in_addons.json comes from FINAL_TARGET_FILES and LOCALIZED_FILES, we can do this somewhere globally in mozbuild (perhaps the CommonBackend?)
