2049087 - [IPC Urlbar] Phase 1: Route UrlbarView's provider lookups through the controller instead of UrlbarParentController.manager

[Dão Gottwald [:dao]]

After bug 2044950 split the controller, UrlbarView still reaches the parent-process ProvidersManager through controller.manager: its #providersManager getter calls getProvider(...) and then getViewTemplate/getViewUpdate/onBeforeSelection/getResultCommands on the returned provider. That works while <moz-urlbar> is in the parent process but won't survive it running in a content process.

Add controller-side helpers (getViewTemplate, getViewUpdate, onBeforeSelection, getResultCommands) on UrlbarParentController, forwarded by UrlbarChildController, and update UrlbarView to call those instead — removing the #providersManager getter and the child's manager forward. No behavior change in chrome (synchronous, in-process); marshalling for the content-process case is a later step.
