For a long time, `gfx_traits` has held a lot of things unrelated to graphics
and also unrelated to the `gfx` crate (which is mostly about fonts).
This is a cleanup which does a few things:
1. Move non `gfx` crate things out of `gfx_traits`. This is important in
order to prevent dependency cycles with a different integration between
layout, script, and fonts.
2. Rename the `msg` crate to `base`. It didn't really contain anything
to do with messages and instead mostly holds ids, which are used
across many different crates in Servo. This new crate will hold the
*rare* data types that are widely used.
Details:
- All BackgroundHangMonitor-related things from base to a new
`background_hang_monitor_api` crate.
- Moved `TraversalDirection` to `script_traits`
- Moved `Epoch`-related things from `gfx_traits` to `base`.
- Moved `PrintTree` to base. This should be widely useful in Servo.
- Moved `WebrenderApi` from `base` to `webrender_traits` and renamed it
to `WebRenderFontApi`.
* Devtools device description: fix the case of the 'platformversion' property
* Devtools device description: expose the properties Firefox expects for the display name and version of the server
When connecting to Servo from Firefox (about:debugging), it will display "Servo (71.0)" instead of "{$name} (${version})".
* Devtools device description: update versions to match those in the UA string
* Devtools device description: expose a property (appbuildid) Firefox expects to compare versions for compatibility (_compareVersionCompatibility function)
* Devtools device description: advertise a current platform version to remove the incompatibility warning in Firefox's about:debugging
* Devtools preference actor: fix retrieving the actual preference by its key
* Devtools preference actor: translate Firefox preference names onto the corresponding Servo preference names
* Devtools device description: downgrade the platform version to prevent a confusing warning in about:debugging if the build ID is newer than that of Firefox (likely)
* Devtools device description: add comments
* Devtools device description: use CARGO_PKG_VERSION for the user-visible version number
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`.
This will ultimately make it simpler to update crate dependencies and
reduce duplicate when specifying requirements. Generally, this change
does not touch dependencies that are only used by a single crate. We
could consider moving them to workspace dependencies in the future.
The Linux kernel imposes a 15-byte limit on thread names[1]. This means
information that does not fit in this limit, e.g., the pipeline ID of
layout and script threads, is lost in a debugger and profiler (see the
first column of the table below).
This commit shortens the thread names used in Servo to maximize the
amount of information conveyed. It also rectifies some inconsistencies
in the names.

The preferences actor was previously returning mock values. This changes
picks up the pref_values from the pref_map which is global preferences
state and returns values from there.
Break the association between pipelines and browsing context actors.
Now there is one browsing context actor per actual browsing context,
and individual actors keep track of known pipelines as necessary.
There is also one console/performance/timeline/inspector/etc. actor
per browsing context.
This also centralizes more information in the browsing context actor.
Rather than duplicating state for the active pipeline in actors that
need to use it, each actor now remembers the name of its associated
browsing context actor and obtains that state whenever it's necessary.
