Bug 157371 – Web Inspector: HeapSnapshot should exploratory Object Graph view

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Joseph Pecoraro]

* SUMMARY
HeapSnapshot should exploratory Object Graph view

Should be able to explore the Heap. A good starting point are the global objects themselves. This avoids complexity around things the VM references directly (Conservative Roots, JSGlobalObject structures, small strings, DOMWrapperWorld references, etc) but its still understandable to users:

• JSContext Inspector - show the Global Object
• Web Inspector - show the Window objects

Since the Object Preview was mostly useless on windows, I changed the preview to compute the `window.location.href` for the window object. That tends to be much more useful for pages with lots and lots of frames. But we still might need to make this stronger.

[PATCH] Work In Progress - Needs More Testing

This basically shares all the code. The Object Graph view just shows the 
"Window" || "GlobalObject" instances at the top level, and when expanding we always show the retained size.

I want to test it more tomorrow:
- Window objects seem to be kept alive across navigations making the graph output poor
- Is window.location.href enough? That screenshot is kinda heavy, but that page is heavy.

The "Internal Object" and "Preview Not Available" messages were standing out way too much. This makes them black text, much easier on the eyes.

Missed renaming this `getCompletions` =(
