1502115 - Add thread annotation to API signature

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(GeckoView :: General, enhancement, P2)

Description

[[ex-Mozilla] Agi Sferro | :agi]

After the work in Bug 1458668 lands, we should add support for thread annotations to make sure we track that in the api.

We could simply add @UiThread, @AnyThread, and any other relevant annotation to the API in api.txt, e.g.

```
    @UiThread public void onlyCallOnUiThread();
```

and then make sure that the apilint.py script picks these annotations and errors out if they change between revisions, similar to what it already does for arguments.

This is on top of Bug 1458668 which still is waiting for review. I'll move the repo to a mozilla-* org when it's ready to be published.
