Add support for "newTabPosition" API

[Keith94]

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1344749 was fixed today; I'm wondering if this add-on should use the new API to control new tabs position.

This patch implements the preference "browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" which,
when set to true, will cause all tabs (related and unrelated) to be opened next
to the current tab.

It also implements the browserSettings API "newTabPosition", which allows
extensions to control both "browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent", and
"browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" via values for "afterCurrent",
"relatedAfterCurrent" and "atEnd".

Yep I was involved in the design of the API, and will definitely be updating Always Right to use it!

Looks like you did in the following commit?

And this it seems to work great in Firefox nightly 62, tabs are opened directly after the current instead of first being opened at the end and then moved.

Yes, fixed in latest release, for Firefox 61 and future!

Does that means the only purpose of Always-Right will be to activate this native feature?

@mems Yes. For more info see ghacks.
