Can we stop exposing the socket transport service's nsIEventTarget outside

If we move media/mtransport to necko... or make an exception for it (and
dom/network/UDPSocket and TCPSocket, etc).  Things that remove loaded
footguns (or at least lock them down) are good.

Glad the major real problem was too-similar-names (I'd never heard of
STREAMTRANSPORTSERVICE (or if I had, it had been long-forgotten, or
mis-read as SOCKETTRANSPORTSERVICE)).


The OverbiteFF (gopher and legacy protocols) add-on uses nsISocketTransportService to open sockets, and I'm sure it's not the only one that does. The implementation is non-blocking, but I want to clarify from the above post that the intention is not to block non-Necko consumers from using it. Is this acceptable usage, or is it deprecated?
