absolutely-positioned elements.
This also implements a little bit of the infrastructure needed to
support for fragmentation via support for multiple positioned fragments
in one flow.
Improves Google.
This add some properties to the style system and a new flow type, but the larger issues of dealing with fragmentation in the flow tree is still an open question.

Known issues:
* Collapsed borders do not correctly affect the border-box of the table
itself.
* The content widths of all cells in a column and the content height of
all cells in a row is the same in this patch, but not in Gecko and
WebKit.
* Corners are not painted well. The spec does not say what to do here.
* Column spans are not handled well. The spec does not say what to do
here either.
flows and static positions of hypothetical boxes.
Before this change, Servo used one code path that computed the position
of flows with `position: static` or `position: relative` and another
separate code path that computed the position of flows with `position:
absolute` or `position: fixed`. The latter code attempted to duplicate
the former code to determine the static position of hypothetical boxes,
but this was both fragile and incorrect in the case of hypothetical
boxes nested inside floats. In fact, it's impossible to determine the
static position of an absolute flow relative to its containing block at
inline-size assignment time, because that static position could depend
on a float that cannot be placed until block-size assignment!
This patch changes block layout to use the same code path for static
positioning of regular flows and static positioning of absolute flows
where applicable. This both simplifies the code and improves its
efficiency, since it allows the `hypothetical_position` field and
`static_block_offsets` data structure to be removed. Moreover, it
improves correctness in the above case (which the new reftest checks).
This allows the sidebar in Facebook Timeline to be positioned properly.
Cycles were being created in the flow tree since absolutely positioned
descendants had pointers to their containing blocks. This adds
WeakFlowRef (based on Weak<T>) and makes these backpointers weak
references. This also harmonizes our custom Arc<T>, FlowRef, to be
consistent with the upstream implementation.
Fixes#4915.
§ 12.3-12.5.
Only simple alphabetic and numeric counter styles are supported. (This
is most of them though.)
Although this PR adds a sequential pass to layout, I verified that on
pages that contain a reasonable number of ordered lists (Reddit
`/r/rust`), the time spent in generated content resolution is dwarfed by
the time spent in the parallelizable parts of layout. So I don't expect
this to negatively affect our parallelism expect perhaps in pathological
cases.
...and vice-versa. This is not a complete fix for all mixed-direction layout
cases, but it fixes enough problems to make some simple test cases pass, like
tha attached reftest.
There are FIXME comments for many of the remaining issues. In particular,
this does not yet handle RTL layout of fixed/absolute elements.
through display list building.
The old `flow_origin` concept was ill-defined (sometimes the border box
plus the flow origin, sometimes including horizontal margins and
sometimes not, sometimes including relative position and sometimes not),
leading to brittleness and test failures. This commit reworks the logic
to always pass border box origins in during display list building.
The rendering is still wrong beause of #2795, but at least we get a rendering.
(This test change is just for readability, it should be equivalent to before.)
The exact rendering is ill-spec'd. Some things are ugly (especially the
width and height of list style images) but they are infrequently used
and I believe this implementation matches the spec. Numeric lists are
not supported yet, since they will require a separate layout pass.
The implementation is a subclass of `BlockFlow`, on advice from Robert
O'Callahan.
