This commit introduces the `serde` dependency, which we will use to
serialize messages going between processes in multiprocess Servo.
This also adds a new debugging flag, `-Z print-display-list-json`,
allowing the output of display list serialization to be visualized.
This will be useful for our experiments with alternate rasterizers.
Move LayerBuffer cache to the compositor
Now that NativeDisplay can be shared between the compositor and the
paint task, we can move the LayerBuffer cache to the compositor. This
allows surfaces to be potentially reused between different paint tasks
and will eventually allow OpenGL contexts to be preserved between
instances of GL rasterization.

This will allow reporting of memory usage by FreeType instances, which
are measured in the MiBs for LayoutWorker threads.
This change also makes FreeType allocations happen with jemalloc instead
of the system malloc, which is a good thing.
Finally, the change documents some dubiousness involving
FontContextHandle.
The util component specified fnv and smallvec as dependencies and publicly
reexported both of them. Several other components utilized these reexports,
presumably because fnv and smallvec used to live in the tree so reexporting
made the transition easier.
These indirect dependencies through the util component are unnecessary.
This commit removes the fnv & smallvec crate reexports in the util component.
It exchange, it adds fnv & smallvec as dependencies to non-util components
wherever needed. Finally, it removes the fnv dependency from util as it is not
utilized anywhere in the util component.
Reasons behind existing unstable features:
alloc:
- weak pointers (may not belong)
- boxed::into_raw and from_raw (naming)
collections:
- `Vec.push_all()` (May be replaced)
- Replace with loop
core:
- `min_by` (#15311)
- `PI_2` (naming)
rustc_private:
- FnVHasher
- Can be replaced by rust-fnv
std_misc:
- Hash state stuff (no option here unless we want to stop using it)
str_char:
- CharRange usage
- Can be replaced by regular iterators (char_indices)
Example output from the memory profiler:
```
| 1.04 MiB -- url(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
| 0.26 MiB -- display-list
| 0.78 MiB -- paint-task # new output line
| 0.78 MiB -- buffer-map # new output line
```
The buffer maps aren't huge, but they're worth measuring, and it's good
to get the memory profiler plumbing into PaintTask.
A rebuild after touching components/profile/mem.rs now takes 48 seconds (and
only rebuilds `profile` and `servo`) which is much lower than it used to be.
In comparison, a rebuild after touching components/profile_traits/mem.rs takes
294 seconds and rebuilds many more crates.
This change also removes some unnecessary crate dependencies in `net` and
`net_traits`.
`FontContext::get_layout_font_group_for_style()`.
There are several optimizations here:
* We make font families atoms, to allow for quicker comparisons.
* We precalculate an FNV hash of the relevant fields of the font style
structure.
* When obtaining a platform font group, we first check pointer equality
for the font style. If there's no match, we go to the FNV hash. Only
if both caches miss do we construct and cache a font group. Note that
individual fonts are *also* cached; thus there are two layers of
caching here.
15% improvement in total layout thread time for Facebook Timeline.
- Most of util::memory has been moved into profile::mem, though the
`SizeOf` trait and related things remain in util::memory. The
`SystemMemoryReporter` code is now in a submodule
profile::mem::system_reporter.
- util::time has been moved entirely into profile::time.
This used to conflict with the util crate from the standard library, which
has long since been removed.
The import in layout has not been changed because of a conflict with the
util mod there.
Notes:
* This adds `#![allow(missing_copy_implementations)]` to components/*/lib.rs. I'm not sure how to approach the missing Copy warnings (are there things for which Copy should NOT be implemented, and how can I tell?) so I stuck this in to make life easier when looking through the warnings. I can easily remove this if necessary.
* This leaves the following type of warnings, which I couldn't figure out how to approach (I'll investigate it later if no one else wants to).

The ligature disabling code has been manually verified, but I was unable
to reftest it. (The only way I could think of would be to create an
Ahem-like font with a ligature table, but that would be an awful lot of
work.)
Near as I can tell, the method used to apply the spacing (manually
inserting extra advance post-shaping) matches Gecko.

This commit changes Servo to generate one display list per stacking
context instead of one display list per layer. This is purely a
refactoring; there are no functional changes. Performance is essentially
the same as before. However, there should be numerous future benefits
that this is intended to allow for:
* It makes the code simpler to understand because the "new layer needed"
vs. "no new layer needed" code paths are more consolidated.
* It makes it easy to support CSS properties that did not fit into our
previous flat display list model (without unconditionally layerizing
them):
o `opacity` should be easy to support because the stacking context
provides the higher-level grouping of display items to which opacity
is to be applied.
o `transform` can be easily supported because the stacking context
provides a place to stash the transformation matrix. This has the side
benefit of nicely separating the transformation matrix from the
clipping regions.
* The `flatten` logic is now O(1) instead of O(n) and now only needs to
be invoked for pseudo-stacking contexts (right now: just floats),
instead of for every stacking context.
* Layers are now a proper tree instead of a flat list as far as layout
is concerned, bringing us closer to a production-quality
compositing/layers framework.
* This commit opens the door to incremental display list construction at
the level of stacking contexts.
Future performance improvements could come from optimizing allocation of
display list items, and, of course, incremental display list
construction.
