Storing the build configuration caused Firefox to retain a dependency
on gcc, glibc.dev and icu4c.dev.
This reduces the size of the firefox closure from 587 to 415 MiB.
(cherry picked from commit c03326445b)
Set MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER for firefox as per [1] (see [2] for detailed discussion).
Firefox will recognise itself across verions, skipping the 'not-the-default-browser' prompt.
Firefox will also write sane paths to the generated desktop file, should someone ever set it as default through the 'not-the-default-browser' prompt.
Also removed the unnecessary libtrick cruft.

I really wanted it to substitute the html5 player, or at least the direct
player for mp4/webm files in firefox, but I couldn't make it work. The
formats recognized by the firefox internal player were used in all cases. The
plugin worked for formats unknown by firefox.

Nevertheless, as I wrote the nix recipe, I commit it. It may be of interest to
someone else.
- I don't think that amount of code belonged into all-packages.nix.
- Now the default name of the wrapped package is identical
with the command that runs the browser.
- Other defaults were changed according to how the wrapper is
(almost always) used.
- `meta` is improved: mostly inherited with priority above
the unwrapped package.
wkennington@f6c1004 switched Firefox to GStreamer 1.0 by changing its
buildInput *only*, but that is not enough. We need to fix Firefox
wrappers by changing their buildInputs and set GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH_1_0
instead of GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH.
With above changes playing H.264/MP4 media works in firefoxWrapper and
conkerorWrapper as tested with
http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html and
