Bug 10298: Provide a preference to enable mixed content rules.

Mike Perry · Mike Perry · commit d5ebd1e1faba · 2013-12-06T18:35:04.000-08:00
This patch enables rules that trigger mixed content blocking if mixed content
blocking is disabled via security.mixed_content.block_active_content, or if
the pref extensions.https_everywhere.enable_mixed_rulesets is set.

Also add observers to reload the rules if either pref changes.
