Following on bug 1883155, here we need to make the "Create a new profile" menu item do the right thing when clicked.

First, we need to create and launch a new profile, which should be code that's in about:profiles somewhere. (Call into gProfiles when clicked to handle the click.)

Second, interestingly, we need to force the new profile to launch with about:profiles-new displayed (so that they can customize their new profile). This will require some investigation to figure out. There's also a bunch of weird homepage override code in BrowserContentHandler to look through; we need to override the overrides somehow.
