Details

nsIProfile should maintain it's own observer list rather than use the global 
observer service. this will allow us to keep nsIObserverService private and make 
notification ifaces explicit.

nsIProfile's impl can just use the nsIObserverList impl internally to maintain 
it's list.

After some discussion, I believe we concluded that it was advantageous to use
the global observer service since then observers do not have to reference the
notifier - even know who it is that is notifying. One thing that was done, as
part of bug 65212 was to not declare observer topics in an interface - this cuts
all dependencies.
