Overall, this makes the whole setup less fragile, and make it work with
LTO in more situations.

The sStaticModules list is, practically speaking, a copy of the list
of components we already have in libxul, augmented at runtime with
a few other components for tests (for gtest and xpcshell). We don't
actually need to keep that copy in memory. We can instead just use the
pointers in libxul directly to register them to the component manager,
and use a separate list, only for those extra components when they need
to be registered.

Loading binary components is not supported since bug 1314955.

So nice to get rid of this.

Bug 1471132 - Handle 3-column nm/readelf output in check_binary r=glandium (esr60)

This is one of series of patches I am requesting uplift to esr60. Please don't uplift any if the entire series won't go. The whole series will need to go in one push.

This try run (applied on tip-of-esr60 as of an hour ago; and beginning with 'Bug 1491901 - move MK*SHLIB to moz.configure') represents the patch series. It must be applied in that order: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=0659d6e265f3b624ad6fbac0c9cd7ce246094596 (If this try run doesn't complete successfully, I will investigate and figure out why)

The uplift request form is the same for all of the patch series; see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1491901#c10
