Some rendering codepaths are only exercised by XUL.

For example, in bug 1205630 I fixed a tab-bar rendering issue, and I
had to write a XUL reftest as my regression test, because that's the
only thing I could get to exercise the affected code. I think it's
important that, as long as our browser UI uses the relevant XUL
features, the corresponding test coverage remains in place.

In turn, being able to load a XUL page locally (which I've been doing
with "dom.allow_XUL_XBL_for_file", not sure if there's another way),
is useful for writing such a XUL test.

Cheers,
Botond
