The Linux kernel imposes a 15-byte limit on thread names[1]. This means
information that does not fit in this limit, e.g., the pipeline ID of
layout and script threads, is lost in a debugger and profiler (see the
first column of the table below).
This commit shortens the thread names used in Servo to maximize the
amount of information conveyed. It also rectifies some inconsistencies
in the names.

I moved away from the `Window` struct all the logic to handle task
sources, into a new struct called `TaskManager`. In a happy world, I'd
be able to just have there two functions, of the types:
```rust
fn task_source<T: TaskSource>(&self, name: TaskSourceName) -> Box<T>
fn task_source_with_canceller<T: TaskSource>(&self, name: TaskSourceName)
-> (Box<T>, TaskSourceCanceller)
```
And not so much duplicated code. However, because TaskSource can't be a
trait object (because it has generic type parameters), that's not
possible. Instead, I decided to reduce duplicated logic through macros.
For reasons[1], I have to pass both the name of the function with
canceller and the name of the function without, as I'm not able to
concatenate them in the macro itself. I could probably use
`concat_idents` to create both types already defined and reduce the
amount of arguments by one, but that macro is nightly only. At the same
time, not being able to declare macros inside `impl` forces me to pass
`self` as an argument.
All this makes this solution more verbose than it would be ideally. It
does reduce duplication, but it doesn't reduce the size of the file.
