/**
 * Helper object for APIs that deal with DOMRequests and Promises.
 * It allows objects inheriting from it to create and keep track of DOMRequests
 * and Promises objects in the common scenario where requests are created in
 * the child, handed out to content and delivered to the parent within an async
 * message (containing the identifiers of these requests). The parent may send
 * messages back as answers to different requests and the child will use this
 * helper to get the right request object. This helper also takes care of
 * releasing the requests objects when the window goes out of scope.
 *
 * DOMRequestIPCHelper also deals with message listeners, allowing to add them
 * to the child side of frame and process message manager and removing them
 * when needed.
