+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #874016 +++

Split out from bug 874016 which is being used as a metabug now.

Right now we have content processes creating plugin modules and plugin instances, but plugins do not necessarily expect to run in parallel -- Flash specifically.

My current plan is to have the parent create/manage PluginModule, and then create PluginInstanceParents that are passed to content processes, effectively making the IPC diagram a triangle between content/parent/plugin.

This also needs to be done so that the parent can manage the native widget of windowed-mode plugins, as it controls the native UI.
