1587880 - Adapt menus/contextMenus API to suspendible extension contexts

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1748558

(WebExtensions :: Frontend, task, P3)

Description

[Luca Greco [:rpl] [:luca] [:lgreco]]

the menus/contextMenus API would need at least the following changes:

• in the menus.create API method, which takes an id parameter, this parameter is currently optional, but it should be mandatory for suspendible extension contexts (as it is what makes the API able to recognize when a certain menu item was already created before the extension context is being suspended and then wake up in response of a received event).

• the menus API events should be persisted and replaced with "primed listeners" when the extension context has been suspended (so that the "primed listener" will be able to receive the events while the extension context is gone, and then wake up the context and fire the pending events received in the meantime).

We are resuming this work in Bug 1748558, and this is technically a duplicate of that.
