…State.h to .idl. rs=mccr8

Without a clobber, the build may generate untracked copies of the generated .h
file in your source directory. This probably happens because your objdir may be
left with a stray symlink for this header, with the stray symlink pointing at
the now-missing version of the header in your source directory.  And when build
generates a .h file (from the new IDL file) in your objdir, it lands on top of
that symlink, which effectively recreates a version of the header in your source
directory.

# don't change CLOBBER for WebIDL changes any more.

Bug 1343682 - backing out a previous version didn't stop the failures from it, so it appears to need a clobber both out and in
Bug 1265818 - deleted an exported header and added a new .idl to regenerate that same header; and this unfortunately produces an untracked generated header in your source dir whenever you build (probably due to a dangling symlink), unless you clobber
