* - state: STARTING (was STOPPED)
* - context: null
* 3. Background context creation observed in parent
* - method: none (observed by ExtensionParent's recvCreateProxyContext)
* TODO: add method to observe and keep track of it sooner than stage 4.
* - state: STARTING
* - context: ProxyContextParent subclass (was null)
* 4. Parent-observed background startup completion
* - method: setBgStateRunning
* - state: RUNNING (was STARTING)
* - context: ProxyContextParent (was null)
* 5. Background context unloaded for any reason
* - method: setBgStateStopped
* intentionally triggered terminations, not navigations/reloads.
* When unloads happen due to navigations/reloads, context will be
* null but the state will still be RUNNING.
* - state: STOPPED (was STOPPED, STARTING, RUNNING or SUSPENDING)
* - context: null (was ProxyContextParent if stage 4 ran).
