compositor: Create a single cross-process compositor API (#33619) (#33660)

Instead of exposing many different kinds of messages to the compositor
that are routed through the constellation, expose a single message type
which can be sent across IPC channels. In addition, this IPC channel and
the route to the crossbeam channel with the compositor is created along
with the `CompositorProxy`, simplifying what needs to be passed around
during pipeline initialization.

Previously, some image updates (from video) were sent over IPC with a
special serialization routine and some were sent via crossbeam channels
(canvas). Now all updates go over the IPC channel `IpcSharedMemory` is
used to avoid serialization penalties. This should improve performance
and reduce copies for video, but add a memory copy overhead for canvas.
This will improve in the future when canvas renders directly into a
texture.

All-in-all this is a simplification which opens the path toward having a
standard compositor API and reduces the number of duplicate messages and
proxying that had to happen in libservo.
