    Bug 859782 - Firefox cannot start without /proc (chroot). r=sfink,evilpie,jld
    
    Firefox uses the current stack frame address and the stack size
    as a sort of heuristic for various things in the javascript
    engine.  The js::GetNativeStackBaseImpl() function is used to
    get the base stack address (ie the address from which the stack
    grows, so this can be either the first or last memory address of
    the stack memory space depending on the CPU architecture).
    
    On Linux, this function is implemented using the pthreads APIs.
    For non-main threads, the queried thread info is stored in
    memory.  The main thread does not have this information on hand,
    so it gets the stack memory range via the /proc/self/maps file
    ( see glibc's pthread_get_attr_np.c ).
    
    Fortunately (per discussions with the firefox devs in #jsapi)
    the base address only needs to be approximation.  In reality,
    environment variables, args, and other things are stored in space
    between the end/beginning of the mapped stack memory and the 'top'
    of the stack space used by stack frames.
    
    We can get the top of this usable stack from __libc_stack_end,
    which is a void* set by glibc during program initialization.
    Non-main threads still get their stack-base through the usual
    pthreads APIs.
    
    This fixes bug 20283 on our side.
