MOZ_CRASHREPORTER_SHUTDOWN will cause the parent process to abort if a child process crashes. Currently this is not set in mochitest (or other harnesses), and means anytime there is a crash the test run will hang until a timeout is reached. The crash still gets reported, so this is more of a perf concern.

I tried setting this in bug 1372263 but it got backed out due to browser-chrome leaks:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=autoland&revision=7dcc7dac37d19d0b8fe1d8100cfb01642c9d13a9&filter-resultStatus=testfailed&filter-resultStatus=busted&filter-resultStatus=exception&filter-resultStatus=retry&filter-resultStatus=usercancel&filter-resultStatus=running&filter-resultStatus=pending&filter-resultStatus=runnable

This is a follow-up to investigate those failures and get this environment set.

Might as well try this again, maybe the leaks are magically gone.

Please see bug 1440719 where Geoff is working on it for mochitest browser-chrome.

Unfortunately, still a bunch of leaks:

However, we could at least turn it on in reftest and see if it helps bug 1449576 at all.
