Details

(Whiteboard: [MemShrink:P2]) 

We currently load RemoteAddonsChild into every content process from browser-child.js even when no shims are enabled, which according to about:memory consumes somewhere upwards of 50K per process.

RemoteAddonsParent.jsm takes care of loading RemoteAddonsChild when it's necessary, and I've fixed all of the bugs that cause RemoteAddonsParent to be loaded when not necessary, so we should fix this too, and have browser-child only interact with RemoteAddonsChild when it's already loaded.
