734211 - Expose API for querying the existence of Sync accounts, creating accounts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Android Sync, defect, P1)

Description

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

This will largely entail lifting AccountActivity.createAccount and adding validation, and documenting its assumptions (e.g., about threading).

Also will need an option to ensure that no account already exists, to avoid ending up with two!

While we're here, we can also add a little API to check whether a Sync account exists, and strip that logic out of the main Fennec code.

In the future we can explore additional decoupling.
