Here's a work-in-progress patch, with some passing xpcshell tests.

The child process actors don't do anything yet, but you can list them and get notified when new ones start or old ones stop.

Alex, I seem to recall you ended up implementing support for child processes a bit differently. Do we still need this bug?
