Bug 1697270 - Provide GeckoResult.allow() and .deny()
48 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review

They are big footguns because it's very easy to access them on a non-Looper thread causing crashes like https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/2cd0b068-2f67-48b2-b2db-4b08c0210309

When built as static members, we observe GeckoResult.allow and deny getting
built on threads that don't have a Looper (or maybe built before the looper is
initialized?).

This change makes it so that the ALLOW and DENY instances are built when called
and kept thread local, to conform with the caller's expectations that any
callback is executed on the same thread.
