The current definition of virtualMemorySize in windows/ProcInfo.cpp is set to PagefileUsage, which is entirely unrelated to virtual memory size. We should entirely get rid of this statistics on all platforms because we have no scenario in which it can be useful in the first place. If we ever need it, we'll reimplement it correctly.

The objective of this bug is to:

  1. change the definitions of structs in ChromeUtils.webidl to remove field virtualMemorySize entirely;
  2. during a rebuild, this will cause a number of compilation issues, fix these by removing all instances of VirtualMemorySize at the site of errors;
  3. fix the test browser_test_procinfo.js to remove virtualMemorySize.

Oops, my bad, I didn't look at the right patch. This looks like it should work!
