This is the Android analogue to Bug 951857.
We'll need to revert the name of the BrowserProvider changed in ee798af61816 (it says Bookmarks now; it should go back to Firefox).

The current code exposes a new Android Account type; that's probably not something we want to display right now.  Unfortunately we can't run-time pref displaying the new Account type, because it's declared in the Android manifest.  So, to maintain our existing Nightly Sync experience best, we should compile-time pref off the Android account type; that requires a little code but will .  This is as easy as compile-time guarding the AndroidManifest.xml.in includes.

Commit 136b8910 introduced some "inverted" compile time guards for chrome resources.  We should compile-time guard these the same as above: it doesn't make sense to have about:accounts without a functional Android account backing it.  Since we want to get rid of about:accounts on Android ASAP and replace it with native UI, there's no point exposing this to non-testers.  People who want to test FxAccounts will continue to use the existing elm builds.

And just for good measure, we'll stop Fennec from listening to FxAccount:* messages.

This will land Bug 889749, expanding our accepted TLS ciphersuite on Android.  We wanted this to land but didn't want to put in the old device testing required before now; this is a net win.
And we'll want to land an elm-only mozconfig change compile-time enabling FxAccounts.
On IRC, me, mfinkle, and gavin decided that no compile-time pref was necessary; so this got simpler.
Summary: Compile-time pref off FxAccounts in preparation for elm -> m-c merge → Final changes to Android FxAccounts in preparation for elm -> m-c merge
+1 to that!
