Now that LDAP is no longer using the XPFE autocomplete interfaces, we can remove them from the XBL widget.

Also happens to fix a potential race condition on Linux whereby results may be invalidated incorrectly if they arrive in a different order to the search list. (Don't worry, the race condition is very hard to detect.)

Will file followup bugs on: * Removing obsolete files from the tree * Adding other toolkit features, such as o support for getLabelAt o support for getImageAt o support for removeValueAt
