Platform/Platform-specific build defines

In the Gecko code we have a bunch of preprocessor conditions that help us conditionally compile code for specific platforms. These can get confusing so here is a handy-dandy table to help you keep them straight.

OS	Windows	OS X	Linux-gtk	Android		iOS
Product	Desktop	Desktop	Desktop	Fennec	GeckoView	iOS
XP_WIN	✓				??
