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.
account.
This necessitated changing overflow to be calculated by the parent flow
if relatively positioned children are present. That is because the
overflow regions cannot be calculated without knowing relative offsets,
which themselves cannot be calculated without knowing the parent size
(because of percentages). To accomplish this without sacrificing
parallelism in the non-relative case, this patch splits overflow into
"early" and "late" computation. Late overflow computation cannot be
parallelized across children, while early overflow computation can.

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.

It's not possible to correctly determine during the css cascade whether the container height
is explicitly specified. Additionally, the spec https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/visudet.html#the-height-property
says this should affect the *used* height, rather than the computed height.
This significantly improves the layout in #6643.
`LOCAL_CONTEXT_KEY` is currently a `Cell<*mut LocalLayoutContext>`. The use
of the raw pointer means that the `LocalLayoutContext` is not dropped when
the thread dies; this leaks FreeType instances and probably other
things. There are also some unsafe getter functions in `LayoutContext`
(`font_context`, `applicable_declarations_cache` and
`style_sharing_candidate_cache`) that @eddyb says involve undefined
behaviour.
This changeset changes `LOCAL_CONTEXT_KEY` to
`RefCell<Option<Rc<LocalLayoutContext>>>`. This fixes the leak and also
results in safe getters.

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.
* Fix queries involving stacking contexts
* The code was double accumulating stacking context origins.
* Handle queries of inline elements.
* The node addresses being compared were incorrect (CharacterData vs. Span)
* Handle ScriptQuery reflows correctly.
* The layout task was skipping the compute absolute positions traversal, so failed before window.onload.

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.
