* @file
* This module is used for managing preferences from WebExtension APIs.
* It takes care of the precedence chain and decides whether a preference
* needs to be updated when a change is requested by an API.
*
* It deals with preferences via settings objects, which are objects with
* the following properties:
*
* prefNames: An array of strings, each of which is a preference on
* which the setting depends.
* setCallback: A function that returns an object containing properties and
* values that correspond to the prefs to be set.
