1830416 - [Tabs tray to Compose] Investigate using `LocalComposition` for passing Stores down to leaf nodes

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android :: Tabs, enhancement, P3)

Investigate whether it's possible to integrate our Store pattern with CompositionalLocal in Compose.

The goals would be the following:

• Reduced parameter & dependency list
• Ability to access TabsTrayStore (and maybe AppStore and BrowserStore) from any "component" node in the TabsTray tree. (The bottom-most child nodes should still only receive pure data (e.g. TabLayout, SingleSelectBanner)
• A wrapper similar to FirefoxTheme (TabsTrayDataScope?) would be used to couple the stores to the nodes (example below)

TabsTrayDataScope(appStore, browserStore, tabsTrayStore) {
   TabsTray(...)
}

Closing this ticket. This seems to be a bit redundant considering Context Receivers are officially a part of the Kotlin language and seem more useful than bloating out the Compose tree with our Stores.
