950959 - Rename ScheduledCycleCollectNow and nsCycleCollector_scheduledCollect

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Also maybe ScheduledCC.  Olli pointed out that the current names are weird, and should probably talk about incremental collection.  Maybe something like RunCycleCollectorSlice would be better.

One odd corner is that PrepareForGarbageCollection runs Collect() with ScheduledCC.  I think the reason for this is that we only want to finish the current CC, not do a new one.  I should document that, because it wasn't obvious and I had to re-read the code to figure it out.
