Eventually, we're going to want to hand out an nsIEventTarget* to people
wanting to dispatch to background threads, but for whatever reason not
wanting to use the NS_DispatchToBackgroundThread API (probably because
they want to verify correctness by checking that certain methods are, in
fact, running on the background event target). And because we're going to
want to have some sort of division between CPU-bound and IO-bound tasks, we
can't just hand out references to a single thread pool. We need some sort
of intermediate object for both of these goals, and that is what the added
BackgroundEventTarget class is.
