This should make it somewhat easier to experiment with alternative
representations in the future. To reduce churn, this commit leaves the String
field public, though.
Also, this will allow us to use the default String type to represent the IDL
USVString type, which explicitly forbids unpaired surrogates, ans as such is
a better match to the Rust String type.
This trait is used to hold onto the downcast and upcast functions of all
castable IDL interfaces. A castable IDL interface is one which either derives
from or is derived by other interfaces.
The deriving relation is represented by implementations of marker trait
DerivedFrom<T: Castable> generated in InheritTypes.

html5ever now uses the Tendril string type to minimize copying internally,
but Servo still converts from/to `String` at the boundary
(which involves copying).
NodeTypeId is supposed to reflect the WebIDL inheritance hierarchy.
All of Text/ProcessingInstruction/Comment inherit from CharacterData,
which inherits from Node. There should be a CharacterDataTypeId value
that differentiates between those, instead.
