The file is more than 3000 lines long atm (http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f54c1723befe6bcc7229f005217d5c681128fcad/devtools/shared/client/main.js) and contains multiple "classes" that could live perfectly in their own file.

Alex, this is a big review, but it's mostly moving things around.
Please feel free to tell me if I might do it another way (using hg copy for instance)

I've typically used 'hg copy' and then deleted the rest when splitting a file up to keep blame. In those cases it's been when splitting 1 file into just a few, but we may want to still do it even if splitting into a bunch.

Bug 1403895 - split main.js in mulitple files; .

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/184602/#review189778

* Yes, it would be worth trying hg copy on two new files to see how it goes.
* I would keep Request() definition within debugger-client as it is private to DebbuggerClient.
* Use loader.lazyRequireGetter() to help save some module loading
* It may be worth following up to require the precise client module everywhere to save even more module loading. Each new module introduce a small overhead, so we should mitigate this by, on the other hand, load less JS bytes.

Please use lazy loading for these two clients.

Please use lazy loading for this client and add an empty line between this and `noop`.

Please lazy load this client.

Please lazy load these clients.

Please lazy load this client and add an empty space after.

I used hg copy to keep the history on files, as a consequence the review is huge and mozreview might crash your browser :)
I added a second patch to get rid of main.js and directly require the module where they are needed.
I guess it might also be a good idea to use lady loading where we can on the file I edited ? I'm willing to do this, just want to know if it's worth it.

\o/ even more lazy loading!

I quickly scanned the few require calls and the vast majority in for debugger-client which is going to be loaded anyway. And a couple of object-client/environment-client which I imagine may be used quite early by the tools requiring them. So I would say it isn't as important.
