Remove old Firefox search engine importer support.
Firefox has not stored search engine data in XML files in the past five years (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203167). Something about the search engines importer is causing crashes, but with no tests and no good way to get an old-style profile to test with, fixing that bug is difficult. Just remove the code instead, since it has bitrotted and it's unlikely that anyone is importing a 3+ year-old Firefox profile that has not been migrated to the new storage scheme. Firefox now stores search engines in an LZ4-compressed JSON file called search.json.mozlz4, which would be the thing to read if Chromium wanted to re-add support for importing Firefox search engines.
