Attachment: WIP: Bug 1970225 - GeckoView Multi-Preference Setter with State Check

This patch adds a new GeckoView API that adds a method to only set a
Gecko preference if it currently matches the previous expected preference
value.

It additionally adds an object that contains setting information.
