Implement add-ons support

See original GitHub issue

Hardware

Oculus Go

Steps to Reproduce

Try to install a WebExtension from https://addons.mozilla.org
Notice the installation fails.

Actual Behavior

The extension is not installed.

The WebExtension APIs are not yet supported on Firefox Reality.

Expected Behavior

The extension should be installed.

Recommendation

Identify which WebExtension APIs are appropriate to expose in GeckoView and FxR.
Implement and expose the WebExtension APIs from GeckoView. (Tracked by platform bug 1468844.)
Ensure extension installation works as expected (i.e., InstallTrigger.install).

When simple WebExtensions are initially support (e.g., content scripts work), then we’ll want to make UX and UI affordances for managing browserActions, pageActions, etc. That will require some design work (see Firefox on desktop and Android for prior art).

We’ll likely start with password managers here, but definitely on the list for future.
