script: Do not run layout in a thread (#31346)
* script: Do not run layout in a thread

Instead of spawning a thread for layout that almost always runs
synchronously with script, simply run layout in the script thread.

This is a resurrection of #28708, taking just the bits that remove the
layout thread. It's a complex change and thus is just a first step
toward cleaning up the interface between script and layout. Messages are
still passed from script to layout via a `process()` method and script
proxies some messages to layout from other threads as well.

Big changes:

1. Layout is created in the script thread on Document load, thus every
   live document is guaranteed to have a layout. This isn't completely
   hidden in the interface, but we can safely `unwrap()` on a Document's
   layout.
2. Layout configuration is abstracted away into a LayoutConfig struct
   and the LayoutFactory is a struct passed around by the Constellation.
   This is to avoid having to monomorphize the entire script thread
   for each layout.
3. Instead of having the Constellation block on the layout thread to
   figure out the current epoch and whether there are pending web fonts
   loading, updates are sent synchronously to the Constellation when
   rendering to a screenshot. This practically only used by the WPT.

A couple tests start to fail, which is probably inevitable since removing
the layout thread has introduced timing changes in "exit after load" and
screenshot behavior.

Add initial support for sticky positioning for non-legacy layout (#30686)
* Add initial support for sticky positioning for non-legacy layout

Many tests still fail for a variety of reasons. One of the primary ones
is that CSSOM currently does not return correct values for elements
positioned by sticky nodes. This requires changes to WebRender to work
properly.

* Fix an assertion failure in the legacy layout sticky code

f4d3af296c Move *_traits and other shared types to shared
This is the start of the organization of types that are in their own
crates in order to break dependency cycles between other crates. The
idea here is that putting these packages into their own directory is the
first step toward cleaning them up. They have grown organically and it
is difficult to explain to new folks where to put new shared types. Many
of these crates contain more than traits or don't contain traits at all.

Notably, `script_traits` isn't touched because it is vendored from
Gecko. Eventually this will move to `third_party`.
