Auto merge of #7177 - pcwalton:intervening-inline-block, r=mbrubeck

layout: Improve our handling of inline absolute containing blocks.

Several issues are addressed in this commit:

* Inline flows now bubble up their absolute descendants instead of
  making the inline flow the containing block for them. (In the future,
  we will need to make the inline flow *sometimes* be the containing
  block for them, but for now it improves sites to unconditionally
  bubble up.)

* Fragments now look at their inline fragment context to determine
  whether they are positioned.

* Inline flows now push the stacking-relative position of the absolute
  containing block down to their inline-block fragments.

* Inline absolute hypothetical fragments can be containing blocks.

* Fixes the logic in
  `containing_block_range_for_flow_surrounding_fragment_at_index`. The
  condition to determine whether fragments are positioned was inverted!

* `Descendants`/`AbsDescendants` has been refactored in order to become
  more friendly to inline absolute containing blocks in the future.

Improves the inline position of the green drop-down arrow in the Google
SERPs. (The block position is still wrong.)
