WR now has a concept of font templates and font instances. This
makes the WR font interfaces closer to Cairo and Gecko, and also
makes some future performance optimizations possible.
A font template is the font family, and data backing the font.
A font instance is a reference to a font template and per-instance
options, such as font size, anti-aliasing settings etc.
To update Servo in a minimally invasive way, I added a new font
cache call, that creates a font instance. This means that when
a font is created, and doesn't exist in the cache there are now
two calls to the font cache thread. We could refactor the font
cache to make this work in one call, which we should do in the
future. However, refactoring the font cache is a large chunk of
work by itself. The extra call is only when a font doesn't already
exist in the font context cache, so it should have minimal
performance impact.
Fix panic when font face name is not available
I got a panic in Servo when I ran it with `RUST_LOG=debug`, which was due to `FT_Get_Postscript_Name` returning a null pointer.
I'm not sure how to add a test for this, so there is none right now.

This removes paint threads, rust-layers dependency, and changes
optional webrender types to be required.
The use_webrender option has been removed, however I've left
the "-w" command line option in place so that wpt
runner can continue to pass that. Once it's removed from there
we can also remove the -w option.
Once this stage is complete, it should be fine to change the
display list building code to generate webrender display
lists directly and avoid the conversion step.
Replace character indices with UTF-8 byte offsets throughout the code dealing
with text shaping and breaking. This eliminates a lot of complexity when
converting from one to the other, and interoperates better with the rest of
the Rust ecosystem.
WebRender is an experimental GPU accelerated rendering backend for Servo.
The WebRender backend can be specified by running Servo with the -w option (otherwise the default rendering backend will be used).
WebRender has many bugs, and missing features - but it is usable to browse most websites - please report any WebRender specific rendering bugs you encounter!
Remove 'get_*' on getters as per RFC 0344 on canevas, compositing, devtools, gfx, layout, net, profile, servo and webdriver_server
Hi guys,
I just gave a big pass of RFC-0344 as per issue #6224 .
Pretty much renamed all the get_* fn that were used to fetch values.
I hope I didn't rename too much.
As said in the issue discussion, I didn't touch at the scripts folder so we keep the unsafe ones pretty explicit.
I've ran the whole pass of test, everything seems to be still working right :).
Please give feedback on this PR.
Thanks for looking into it.

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.
