This is the first part of #10185. More to follow. I have built this locally with both servo and geckolib without errors; let's see if it succeeds on all platforms as well.
`memmove` was showing up high in the profile when concatenating and
shorting display lists. This change drastically reduces the `memmove`
cost in exchange for some minor additional allocation cost.
Instead of producing a tree of stacking contexts, display list
generation now produces a flat list of display items and a tree of
stacking contexts. This will eventually allow display list construction
to produce and modify WebRender vertex buffers directly, removing the
overhead of display list conversion. This change also moves
layerization of the display list to the paint thread, since it isn't
currently useful for WebRender.
To accomplish this, display list generation now takes three passes of
the flow tree:
1. Calculation of absolute positions.
2. Collection of a tree of stacking contexts.
3. Creation of a list of display items.
After collection of display items, they are sorted based upon the index
of their parent stacking contexts and their position in CSS 2.1
Appendeix E stacking order.
This is a big change, but it actually simplifies display list generation.
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/
Use the PrintTree utility to improve the readability of flow tree
dumps. Blocks and fragments are now split over two dump levels, because
otherwise they are impenetrable. Also start printing the restyle damage of
fragments.
The failing `float-applies-to-*` CSS 2.1 tests never really should have
been passing in the first place; they depend on floats inside
fixed-layout tables working properly, which they don't.

absolutely-positioned elements.
This also implements a little bit of the infrastructure needed to
support for fragmentation via support for multiple positioned fragments
in one flow.
Improves Google.
Table columns should be layed out according to the 'direction' property of the
table flow, regardless of the 'direction' property of any table-row,
table-rowgroup, etc. flows.
This fixes a number of the `direction-applies-to-*` tests in the CSS2.1 test
suite.
This also simplifies `propagate_column_inline_sizes_to_child` by separating
the code used for table cells from the code for non-cell flows.

Known issues:
* Collapsed borders do not correctly affect the border-box of the table
itself.
* The content widths of all cells in a column and the content height of
all cells in a row is the same in this patch, but not in Gecko and
WebKit.
* Corners are not painted well. The spec does not say what to do here.
* Column spans are not handled well. The spec does not say what to do
here either.
This fixes a bug in finding the top left corner of an RTL block in physical
coordinates. (The old code used the `start` point of the `position` rect,
which is not always the top left.)
It also fixes the setting of `position.start.i` in certain mixed LTR/RTL
cases.
There is still a bug related to `position.size` for RTL blocks with margins.
See the FIXME comments for details.
§ 12.3-12.5.
Only simple alphabetic and numeric counter styles are supported. (This
is most of them though.)
Although this PR adds a sequential pass to layout, I verified that on
pages that contain a reasonable number of ordered lists (Reddit
`/r/rust`), the time spent in generated content resolution is dwarfed by
the time spent in the parallelizable parts of layout. So I don't expect
this to negatively affect our parallelism expect perhaps in pathological
cases.
This patch also makes Servo not crash when
`generated_containing_block_rect()` is called on a list item (as, for
example, GitHub does), and for good measure I added the fix to other
flows as well.
through display list building.
The old `flow_origin` concept was ill-defined (sometimes the border box
plus the flow origin, sometimes including horizontal margins and
sometimes not, sometimes including relative position and sometimes not),
leading to brittleness and test failures. This commit reworks the logic
to always pass border box origins in during display list building.
The exact rendering is ill-spec'd. Some things are ugly (especially the
width and height of list style images) but they are infrequently used
and I believe this implementation matches the spec. Numeric lists are
not supported yet, since they will require a separate layout pass.
The implementation is a subclass of `BlockFlow`, on advice from Robert
O'Callahan.
I had to use a somewhat unconventional method of computing text
indentation (propagating from blocks down to inlines) because of the way
containing blocks are handled in Servo.
(As a side note, neither Gecko nor WebKit correctly handles percentages
in `text-align`, at least incrementally -- i.e. when the percentages are
relative to the viewport and the viewport is resized.)
By "idempotent" I mean that later passes do not stomp on data from
earlier passes, so that we can run the passes individually for
incremental reflow. The main change here was to stop overwriting the
"minimum inline-size" field of each column with the column's computed
inline-size.
