The icons for Firefox are in a new location in the unwrapped package; the
wrapper is updated to reflect that. This should have no effect on other browers
that provide their own icons in the default XDG location.
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.
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
