nit: what does "global mojo shell" mean?

users of content don't need to know about details of implementation. they just
want to know how to connect to a mojo app

Removed the extra details.

+// but they can be constructed and used on any single thread.
+class CONTENT_EXPORT MojoAppConnection {
+ public:
+  MojoAppConnection() {}
+  virtual ~MojoAppConnection() {}

[jam, 2015/05/27 16:05:36]

nit: see content api wiki and other examples in content/public, we want to
reduce this as much as possible.

i.e. no need for constructor. also no need for disallow_copy_and_assign on a
non-copyable class (since pure virtual method)

[Ken Rockot(use gerrit already), 2015/05/27 19:36:16]

Done.
