We needed a separate thread in the chrome process because communication to the
compositor is done through a trait object, and cross-process virtual calls are
forbidden.
Also, the fact that these messages are ultimately handled by the compositor is
an implementation detail; conceptually, the relevant constellation is supposed
to handle these messages.
So instead, the script thread will now send the messages to the constellation,
which will ask the compositor to handle them.
Use associated types to improve LayoutThreadFactory and ScriptThreadFactory.
Thank you for contributing to Servo! Please replace each `[ ]` by `[X]` when the step is complete, and replace `__` with appropriate data:
- [x] `./mach build -d` does not report any errors
- [x] `./mach test-tidy --faster` does not report any errors
- [ ] These changes fix #__ (github issue number if applicable).
Either:
- [ ] There are tests for these changes OR
- [x] These changes do not require tests because refactoring
Pull requests that do not address these steps are welcome, but they will require additional verification as part of the review process.
