Treat about:blank as the default home page and new tab page.

Avoid loading AboutNewTab in BrowserGlue.jsm in order to avoid several network requests that we do not need.

Bug 10760: Integrate TorButton to TorBrowser core

Because of the non-restartless nature of Torbutton, it required a two-stage installation process. On mobile, it was a problem, because it was not loading when the user opened the browser for the first time.

Moving it to tor-browser and making it a system extension allows it to load when the user opens the browser for first time.

Additionally, this patch also fixes Bug 27611.

Bug 26321: New Circuit and New Identity menu items

Bug 14392: Make about:tor behave like other initial pages.

Bug 25013: Add torbutton as a tor-browser submodule

Bug 31575: Replace Firefox Home (newtab) with about:tor
