The style candidate cache had regressed a few times (see #12534), and my
intuition is that being able to disable all style sharing with a single rule in
the page is really unfortunate.
This commit redesigns the style sharing cache in order to be a optimistic cache,
but then reject candidates if they match different sibling-affecting selectors
in the page, for example.
So far the numbers have improved, but not so much as I'd wanted (~10%/20% of
non-incremental restyling time in general). The current implementation is really
dumb though (we recompute and re-match a lot of stuff), so we should be able to
optimise it quite a bit.
I have different ideas for improving it (that may or may not work), apart of the
low-hanging fruit like don't re-matching candidates all the time but I have to
measure the real impact.
Also, I need to verify it against try.
In the Gecko case, this style source would be the style context. In the servo
case, it will be always the computed values.
We could optimise this further in the case of stylo (from three FFI calls to
one) if we use an API of the form CalcAndStore(node, new_cv). But that would
imply borrowing the data twice from Servo (we also have borrow_data_unchecked
fwiw, but...).
This is a rewrite for how style interfaces with its consumers in order to allow
different representations for an element snapshot.
This also changes the requirements of an element snapshot, requiring them to
only implement MatchAttr, instead of MatchAttrGeneric. This is important for
stylo since implementing MatchAttrGeneric is way more difficult for us given the
atom limitations. This also allows for more performant implementations in the
Gecko side of things.
This commit refactors the style crate to be completely independent of
the actual implementation and pseudo-elements supported.
This also adds a gecko backend which introduces parsing for the
anonymous box pseudo-elements[1], although there's still no way of
querying them.

This patch does a number of things, unfortunately all at once:
* Hoists a large subset of the layout wrapper functionality into the style system.
* Merges TElementAttributes into the newly-created TElement.
* Reorganizes LayoutData by style vs layout, and removes LayoutDataShared.
* Simplifies the API for borrowing style/layout data.
There's still more to do to make the style system usable standalone, but
this is a good start.
