[HTTPS-Everywhere] Is the "https-everywhere-uri-rewrite" nsIObserver topic obsolete?

Working on the fix for
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=939180
made me realise that we aren't going to be firing our nsIObserver
notification when we do rewrites with the new, sane,
channel.redirectTo() rewrite API that came out of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765934
I believe that's the "correct" behaviour, since rewrites should now be
happening transparently beneath other extensions' requests, so they
shouldn't need to know about and act on them. So unless anyone tells me
otherwise, I'm going to retire that observer notification.
