(Whiteboard: [necko-triaged])

Right now, we have the HttpChannelParent/Child (and so will the DocumentChannelParent/Child use Redirect in their method names even when it's about switching process.

This comes from legacy code and building up on OnRedirectVerifyCallback method and piggy back some parts of IPC redirection code to perform the "switch"

We should more clearly differentiate the two mechanisms.

Note that once the process switch gets handled in the DocumentChannel then the HttpChannel won't even need to handle nsICrossProcessSwitchChannel (introduced in bug 1556489)
