909012 - pushPermissions doesn't have 'remove' option

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

pushPrefEnv has the 'clear' option to remove prefs, but pushPermissions doesn't have the 'remove' option, which would be similar to removePermission.

So something like this would remove the pREMOVE permission:
SpecialPowers.pushPermissions([{'type': 'pREMOVE', 'remove': true, 'context': document}], function(){});
This would be equivalent to:
SpecialPowers.pushPermissions([{'type': 'pREMOVE', 'allow': Ci.nsIPermissionManager.UNKNOWN_ACTION, 'context': document}], function(){});

So this 'remove' option doesn't really add any functionality, but I think it's just a bit more logical.

I also added some tests that exercise the 'allow: Ci.nsIPermissionManager.ALLOW_ACTION/Ci.nsIPermissionManager.DENY_ACTION

this comment is incorrect now, it isn't boolean anymore.

Allow can be a boolean value of true/false or ALLOW_ACTION/DENY_ACTION/PROMPT_ACTION/UNKNOWN_ACTION

Yeah, thanks, that comment was also wrong before this patch, the ALLOW_ACTION/DENY_ACTION/PROMPT_ACTION/UNKNOWN_ACTION values were accepted for some time already.
I'll fix it.

This is on top of the patch from bug 907995 (not that it should matter, afaik).
