It turns out that it's problematic to embed ThreadLocalStyleContext within
LayoutContext, because parameterizing the former on TElement (which we do
in the next patch) infects all the traversal stuff with the trait parameters,
which we don't really want.
In general, it probably makes sense to use separate scoped TLS types for
the separate DOM and Flow tree passes, so we can add a different ScopedTLS
type for the Flow pass if we ever need it.
We also reorder the |scope| and |shared| parameters in parallel.rs, because
it aligns more with the order in style/parallel.rs. I did this when I was
adding a TLS parameter to all these functions, which I realized we don't need
for now.
This allows us to get rid of a bunch of lifetimes and simplify a lot of code. It
also lets us get rid of that nasty lifetime transmute, which is awesome.
The situation with thread-local contexts is still suboptimal, but we fix that in
subsequent patches.
Parallel display list construction hasn't been shown to give any
performance gains. It is also incompatible with the current flat display
list implementation. Once flat display lists have landed, we can explore
possible benefits of parallel construction once again.
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.
There wasn't a good way to split this up, unfortunately.
With this change, the only remaining usage of the Servo-specific structures is
in layout_task, where the root node is received from the script task. \o/
There is no good reason to have the two types.
This also means that the result of LayoutTask::profiler_metadata no longer
borrows the LayoutTask, which I'll need later.
