Standing up the remote data decoder process required touching files in:

dom/ipc/
ipc/
layout/
toolkit/ (several components)
widget/
xpcom/
testing/

This state of affairs is a bit silly.  This bug is for coordinating work to clean up duplication, reduce the number of places that need to be touched, and introducing new abstractions such that setting up new processes doesn't require touching code hither and yon across the tree.
