Details

installItem() could log more detailed info when it fails to install an item. I'm
not sure whether the LOG() calls will be removed in a release version, but the
EM really ought to log detailed info somewhere if registration of a silently
installed extension fails.

STR:
1. create an extension with bad install.rdf (eg. a string in em:version)
2. create a GUID file pointing to that bad extension
3. start Firefox

Actual results: "... failure, item is not compatible" in JS console

Expected: elaborate description of what exact part of install.rdf EM doesn't
like (as you get when installing an XPI via InstallTrigger).
I checked in some better logging with 291831.
