Network Proxy Interfaces for WebRTC E10S Split

Address Enumeration

 EnumerateInterfaces()
   
   Returns a sequence of:
   {
      string name;
      PRNetAddr address;
      InterfaceType type;
    }
    enum InterfaceType { Local, Wired, WiFi, Mobile, Virtual };

it would be best if this were a synchronous RPC call, but if it has to be async we can live with that.

Socket Management

The following interfaces should be synchronous/RPC-style.

To create a socket:

nsresult SocketCreate(PRNetAddr* requested_address, SocketHandle* handle);

You pass in a PRNetAddr with an IP address but an empty (0) port. On success, the port is filled in, and the handle is valid.


To destroy a socket:

 nsresult SocketDestroy(SocketHandle handle);


This effectively closes it.
