#7637: Alter "New Identity" to make use of onCacheEntryDoomed

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
One of our Firefox patches is a horrible hack that makes
nsCacheService::EvictEntries synchronous. We did this because Mozilla made
it Async before providing an observer to notify us that the eviction took
place. This allowed evercookies to persist for a short time after New
Identity (see #5715).
Apparently, we should now be able to listen to
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/XPCOM_Interface_Reference/nsICacheListener#onCacheEntryDoomed().
Unless of course "doomed" means "We're really going to delete it soon, we
swear. But we'd like to give content a few more chances to access it
first, just in case they really wanted to recover their evercookies."
