gnu: icecat: Support Guix packaged extensions and native manifests.
* gnu/build/icecat-extension.scm: New file with a MAKE-ICECAT-EXTENSION
procedure that makes sure the add-on directory is a symlink, so that Icecat
can normalize it into a package store path.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Register it, as well as new patches.
* gnu/packages/browser-extensions.scm (ublock-origin)[properties]: Store the
add-on ID so that it is accessible in MAKE-ICECAT-EXTENSION.
[arguments]: Use the add-on ID as root directory.
(ublock-origin/icecat): New procedure.
* gnu/packages/gnuzilla.scm (icecat-minimal)[arguments]: Rewrite the unused
'apply-guix-specific-patches' phase so that it applies the following two
patches.
[native-search-paths]: New field.
* gnu/packages/patches/icecat-compare-paths.patch: New patch that compares
add-on paths (which are package store paths) to detect package changes.
* gnu/packages/patches/icecat-use-system-wide-dir.patch: New patch that
replaces "/usr/lib/mozilla" (the system-wide directory for extensions and
native manifests) with "$ICECAT_SYSTEM_DIR".

;; Icecat's iterates over `search-dir` for directories. If a
;; directory's name is not a valid add-on ID, it is ignored. See
;; `DirectoryLocation::readAddons()` in XPIProvider.jsm.
;; This directory has to be a symlink, because Icecat's
;; `_readLinkFile(aFile)` calls `normalize()` only if `aFile` is a
;; symlink.
;; Normalizing is required because Icecat compares the add-on path
;; against its local database to know if there is an extension
;; update. We want the add-on path to be the package store path,
;; so that a path change is detected every time the package is
;; updated. See `updateExistingAddon()` in XPIDatabase.jsm, with
;; our patch `icecat-compare-paths.patch`.
;; We don't want the add-on path to be the profile store path,
;; which would change too often. We don't want the add-on path to
;; be hard-coded either because it would never change (but it
;; wouldn't make sense anyway).
