Part of my patch stack for bug 1479960 is to clean up some of how we manage file descriptors / handles to avoid leaks and confusion about ownership. (Freezing is modeled as changing the permissions on the underlying object, because that's all we can do in some cases, but in other cases that has to be simulated by creating a new handle and closing the previous one while ensuring no copies have accidentally escaped.) Specifically, we have a UniquePtr instance for this in ipc::FileDescriptor, but there are use cases that can't or shouldn't be depending on those headers, and I'm told that this would be in scope for mfbt/UniquePtrExtensions.h.
So I did that and used it in bug 1479960, but it feels distinct enough that I thought a separate bug would make more sense.

Now that UniqueFileHandle can be used more widely, and with
ipc::FileDescriptor being essentially a copyable UniqueFileHandle, it
makes sense to add a move constructor and a "forget"-like method to
convert between them when needed.
Depends on D26737

Once again, it's part of a larger patch stack that's not done yet.

The build breakage fix is bug 1562358. Try runs before and after, based on a rev before the backout was merged to m-c. I'll reland after the merge next Monday.
