* Fill a handler info object with information from the datastore.

* OS and user handler info in the same handler info object, this method
* takes an existing handler info object (probably retrieved from the OS)
* and "fills it in" with information from the datastore, overriding any
* existing properties on the object with properties from the datastore.
*
* Ultimately, however, we're going to separate OS and user handler info
* into separate objects, at which point this method should be renamed to
* something like "get" or "retrieve", take a class and type (or perhaps
* a type whose class can be determined by querying the type, for example
* an nsIContentType which is also an nsIMIMEType or an nsIProtocolScheme),
* and return a handler info object representing only the user info.
*
* Note: if you specify an override type, then the service will fill in
* the handler info object with information about that type instead of
* the type specified by the object's nsIHandlerInfo::type attribute.
*
* This is useful when you are trying to retrieve information about a MIME
* type that doesn't exist in the datastore, but you have a file extension
* for that type, and nsIHandlerService::getTypeFromExtension returns another
* MIME type that does exist in the datastore and can handle that extension.
*
* For example, the user clicks on a link, and the content has a MIME type
* that isn't in the datastore, but the link has a file extension, and that
* extension is associated with another MIME type in the datastore (perhaps
* an unofficial MIME type preceded an official one, like with image/x-png
* and image/png).
*
* In that situation, you can call this method to fill in the handler info
* object with information about that other type by passing the other type
* as the aOverrideType parameter.
*
* @param aHandlerInfo the handler info object
* @param aOverrideType a type to use instead of aHandlerInfo::type
*
* Note: if there is no information in the datastore about this type,
* this method throws NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE. Callers are encouraged to
* check exists() before calling fillHandlerInfo(), to prevent spamming the
* console with XPCOM exception errors.
