Details

(Whiteboard: [fission:android:m3])

As outlined in the GeckoView Fission Process Management design doc, we need to partition the pool of available content processes into a fixed-size pool k of non-Fission content processes, and a MOZ_ANDROID_CONTENT_SERVICE_COUNT - k pool of Fission content processes.

Special singleton content processes that are also controlled by ContentParent (such as the extension process) should also be drawn from the non-Fission process pool, so k must be sufficiently large for those use cases (when enabled).

Some of this should already be doable via the existing dom.ipc.processCount.$REMOTE_TYPE pref, though some changes in ContentParent might be necessary as well.
