Places that need session history

This planning document is preparatory work for task "Session history for remote tabs" in [1]. It lists all the places that need (read / write) session history.

all the following objects make use of session history (or session history listener) in a certain way. For each of them, nsISHistory usage is detailled and links to code are provided.
