327406 - rename browser.display.screen_resolution pref (DPI pref)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect)

We should rename the "browser.display.screen_resolution" pref after removing the UI for it (bug 326329) so that users who have set it in weird ways don't continue to suffer the effects.  I propose "layout.css.dpi" as the new name.

Probably we need to add new setting name in all.js to BeOS section too.
As this patch breaks rendering for point-sized fonts in BeOS for big screens (like with width 1960 and more)

I think we will use fixed OSDpi value instead that fake-calculated

I think the BeOS discussion goes on bug 335076.
