Logical geometry is complicated, so the string formatted output is
verbose. This means that flow tree dumps often go well beyond the
edge of the terminal screen. With a simple notation, we can shorten the
output and make it slightly easier to read. This notation also makes it
more similar to the formatted output of Rect, Point2D, and Size2D.
When this option is enabled, the layout task will print an error when
display list items draw outside their owning Flow's position rect. This
will make it easier to detect layout errors before they break rendering.
This is a command-line option for the moment, because we violate this
rule quite a bit still. Once all bugs causing this are fixed, we can be
more aggressive about enabling the option.
This is quite a bit cleaner than abusing the rust debug functionality.
If we start collecting too many debugging options in the servo
executable we could opt to organize them into a single option.
Fixes#2263.
We've discussed this some and I think there's consensus to do it as a
pragmatic decision for now. CPU painting is more stable, especially with
buggy drivers, and faster (because we aren't caching the necessary
OpenGL objects yet and possibly for other reasons), so it provides a
better "out of the box" experience for newcomers to Servo who don't know
to pass the `-c` option. This patch continues to reftest both Skia and
Skia-GL out of a desire to keep options open. Skia-GL remains a
first-class citizen.
This is a grab bag of performance improvements that significantly improve style recalculation, layout, and painting on a few static pages.
Let me know if you'd like me to split this PR up.

construction to avoid cloning and moving flows so much.
Besides amounting to a 5%-10% win on a page with a lot of text, this
simplifies and refactors the text layout code.
