Hi folks:

tl;dr: some Java sources moved into mobile/android/geckoview.  See [1].

I just pushed to fx-team; it should make it to central shortly.  You may
need to rebase or manually move some changes across. I expect this to
inconvenience principally the platform mobile engineering team under
snorp.  I will look to uplift this to Aurora (and possibly Beta) to ease
uplifts, although those should be few this cycle.

Some context:

Myk Melez is pulling together a platform embedding strategy; part of that
revolves around separating "GeckoView" from Fennec.  Roughly speaking,
GeckoView is a WebView-alike Android custom view exposing the Gecko
rendering technology to third-party consumers.  It's been an idea in the
wind for a long, long time [2] that is getting some targeted investment
right now.

This source re-organization is in support of this work.  The tracking bug
for the initial investment is at [3].  I'll let Myk handle further
communication around this, if he wants to do so.

Yours,
Nick
