[This is a spin-off of bug 366725]

The functions JS_GetStringBytes and JS_GetStringChars are the only string
functions that do not take JSContext* while accessing runtime
structures/allocating memory. We should deprecate their usage and provides alternatives either through different names or through some ifdefs.
Depends on: 373160

No - that bug still provides access to the char array.
2 of these have been removed (I think by Igor).  JS_GetStringChars has been split into infallible and fallible cx-taking versions.
