* A wrapper to contain either an nsAttrValue or an nsAString. This is useful
* because constructing an nsAttrValue from an nsAString can be expensive when
* the buffer of the string is not shared.
*
* This treats nsAttrValueOrString(nullptr) as the empty string,
* to help with contexts where a null pointer denotes an empty value.
*
* Since a raw pointer to the passed-in string is kept, this class should only
* be used on the stack.
