Storage actors all describe table columns with the same DevTools field
object shape. Extract a helper for constructing those objects so that
cookies, local storage, session storage, and soon IndexedDB, do not each
spell out the JSON fields by hand.
Firefox sends the same storage actor mutation requests for Web Storage
that it uses for cookies. Handle addItem, editItem, removeItem, and
removeAll for localStorage and sessionStorage actors.
Apply the changes through the browser-process storage jar and emit the
matching store update packets so the Storage panel stays current after a
DevTools-initiated edit.
Firefox keeps the Storage panel current by sending store update packets
when localStorage or sessionStorage changes. Forward successful Web
Storage mutations to the storage actors and emit the matching update or
clear packet.
Use listener IDs for storage updates so the local and session storage
actors can subscribe independently.
Firefox exposes localStorage and sessionStorage through the same
storage actor protocol used by cookies. Add matching resources for the
current tab so the Storage panel can list key/value pairs.
Read the values through WebContent rather than directly from the
browser process. Session storage lives in LibWeb, and using the same
path for both stores keeps the actor independent of the backing store.
