Add push support for remote disconnect of devices

[vladikoff]

When the user clicks "Disconnect" in the device view from the content server sends a device api request to the auth server

TODO:

• Desktop Patch
• Payload support : #1132
• XPCOM Component

This feature requires a Firefox desktop component to listen for push notifications and disconnect itself

@kitcambridge is there a link to the bugzilla patch for the new XPCOM Push notifications so we can follow it? Thanks!

The proposal here seems to require message payloads in the push notification. The push folks are welcome to disagree, but I get the strong sense that the payload-handling stuff in webpush is still too in-flux for us to commit to building something on top of it...

@vladikoff https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1189998 landed in today's Nightly. The title refers to e10s, but the bug morphed into "clean up all the XPCOM stuff."

I started writing up some docs, but didn't get very far. 😞 For now, the only instructions are the comments in nsIPushService, nsIPushObserverNotification, and PushComponents.js. Happy to help however I can.

Do we have a Bugzilla bug open for the desktop work?

@ryanfeeley Do we want to display a notification/warning on Firefox Desktop when the device has been remotely disconnected or do we just sign-out silently?

[ryanfeeley]

@eoger This is a good idea. Should I file a bug on Bugzilla?

Yes please
