Now that LDAP is no longer using the XPFE autocomplete interfaces, we can remove them from the XBL widget.

Attachment: Proposed patch

Also happens to fix a potential race condition on Linux whereby results may be invalidated incorrectly if they arrive in a different order to the search list. (Don't worry, the race condition is very hard to detect.)

Will file followup bugs on:
* Removing obsolete files from the tree
* Adding other toolkit features, such as
  o support for getLabelAt
  o support for getImageAt
  o support for removeValueAt

Proposed patch

While testing I managed to trigger an error:

Wed Jul 31 2013 00:23:22
Error: TypeError: input[0].syncSessions is not a function
Source file: chrome://messenger/content/addressbook/abMailListDialog.js
Line: 443

Combing through MXR I see several files that need to be updated:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?string=syncSessions&find=&findi=&filter=&hitlimit=&tree=comm-central
/calendar/base/content/dialogs/calendar-event-dialog-attendees.xml
/mail/components/compose/content/addressingWidgetOverlay.js
/mailnews/addrbook/content/abMailListDialog.js
/suite/mailnews/compose/addressingWidgetOverlay.js

http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?string=searchSessions&find=&findi=&filter=^[^\0]*%24&hitlimit=&tree=comm-central
/mozilla/extensions/inspector/resources/content/toolboxOverlay.xul
/mozilla/xpfe/components/autocomplete/test/autocomplete_test.xul

(Lightning)
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?string=addSession&find=&findi=&filter=^[^\0]*%24&hitlimit=&tree=comm-central
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?string=removeSession&find=&findi=&filter=^[^\0]*%24&hitlimit=&tree=comm-central

Except for these all the autocomplete textboxes I tested didn't show any problems.

Right, these should have been removed by bug 452232, but they weren't. Oops.

inspector needs it for backcompat. xpfe test is obsolete and unused, I was going to remove it along with the xpfe src and public files.

These also need to be removed.

I was going to file some dependent bugs but I see you have already done it.
