619730 - Support arbitrary blocklist items passed through the observer service

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

The GFX team want to be able to receive a snippet of the blocklist when we download an update so we're going to be including a gfxItems element in the blocklist. We don't need to do any parsing of it and just pass it to them through the observer service.

It probably makes sense to handle this in a simplistic fashion and just pass all elements that we don't recognise through the observer service through the topic blocklist-data-<tagname> so GFX would register for blocklist-data-gfxItems.

This implements the change sending out the unknown items to the observer service and includes basic tests that that happens
