summary:     Bug 1499140 - Support dynamic module import in the shell r=jandem

Jon, is bug 1499140 a likely regressor?

There's a couple of things going on here.

The first is that we accept the empty string as a valid module specifier.  For HTML this has to be a URL or a relative path.  For the shell we can do whatever we want but "" clearly should be rejected.

The second is that the shell's FileAsString function to read the contents of a file doesn't cope well with errors.  

What's happening for this testcase is that we end up resolving the module's path to a directory and attempting to read that.  The call to ftell() fails but the return value is not checked.  In this case it returns -1 which we use as the length to read.  When allocation fails we don't throw an exception which causes this assertion.

The patch disallows the empty string as a module specifier and also tidies up the error handling in FileAsString.
