Add-on SDK (dtownsend)

Team Meetup last week. Demoed lots of cool ideas:

• Creating an add-on to share style changes made by the developer tools
• Allow installing an add-on in Firefox and have it auto-reload when the add-on's files change
• Providing common JS loaders to all restartless add-ons and other Firefox code
• A debugger for add-ons
• An API to create and run GCLI commands
