/**
 * NewTabWebChannel is the conduit for all communication with unprivileged newtab instances.
 *
 * It allows for the ability to broadcast to all newtab browsers.
 * If the browser.newtab.remote pref is false, the object will be in an uninitialized state.
 *
 * Mode choices:
 * 'production': pages from our production CDN
 * 'staging': pages from our staging CDN
 * 'test': intended for tests
 * 'test2': intended for tests
 * 'dev': intended for development
 *
 *  An unknown mode will result in 'production' mode, which is the default
 *
 *  Incoming messages are expected to be JSON-serialized and in the format:
 *
 *  {
 *    type: "REQUEST_SCREENSHOT",
 *    data: {
 *      url: "https://example.com"
 *    }
 *  }
 *
 *  Or:
 *
 *  {
 *    type: "REQUEST_SCREENSHOT",
 *  }
 *
 *  Outgoing messages are expected to be objects serializable by structured cloning, in a similar format:
 *  {
 *    type: "RECEIVE_SCREENSHOT",
 *    data: {
 *      "url": "https://example.com",
 *      "image": "dataURi:....."
 *    }
