    Bug 32220: Improve the letterboxing experience
    
    CSS and JS changes to alter the UX surrounding letterboxing. The
    browser element containing page content is now anchored to the bottom
    of the toolbar, and the remaining letterbox margin is the same color
    as the firefox chrome. The letterbox margin and border are tied to
    the currently selected theme.
    
    Also adds a 'needsLetterbox' property to tabbrowser.xml to fix a race
    condition present when using the 'isEmpty' property. Using 'isEmpty'
    as a proxy for 'needsLetterbox' resulted in over-zealous/unnecessary
    letterboxing of about:blank tabs.
