Instead, schedule a delayed composite after each frame of an animation.
The previous code would cause jank, because the following sequence
frequently occurred:
1. The page uses `requestAnimationFrame()` to request a frame.
2. The compositor receives the message, schedules a composite,
dispatches the rAF message to the script thread, composites, and goes to
sleep waiting for vblank (frame 1).
3. The script makes a change and sends it through the pipeline.
Eventually it gets painted and is sent to the compositor, but the
compositor is sleeping.
4. The compositor wakes up, sees the new painted content, page flips,
and goes to sleep (frame 2). Repeat from step 1.
The problem is that we have two composition frames, not just one. This
halves Web apps' framerate!
This commit fixes the problem by scheduling the composite in step 2 to
12 ms in the future. We already have this delayed-composition
functionality in the form of the scrolling timer, which I repurposed and
renamed to the "delayed composition timer" for this task. This change
gives the page 12 ms to prepare the frame, which seems to usually be
enough, especially with WebRender.
Note that simply removing the scheduled composite after rAF is not the
correct solution. If this is done, then pages that call rAF and don't
modify the page won't receive future rAFs, since the compositor will be
sleeping and won't be notified of vblank.
Fixes a bunch of jank in browser.html. The remaining jank seems to be a
problem with browser.html itself.
WebRender is an experimental GPU accelerated rendering backend for Servo.
The WebRender backend can be specified by running Servo with the -w option (otherwise the default rendering backend will be used).
WebRender has many bugs, and missing features - but it is usable to browse most websites - please report any WebRender specific rendering bugs you encounter!
Fixes additional calls to rAF.
Often, a rAF callback will request another rAF from the callback itself.
Previously, the constellation would quickly receive two messages saying
that there were no animations, and then there are animations again in the
situation above. This would make the compositor tick the new animation straight
away, causing strange fluctuations and timings in rAF callbacks.
Instead, only send the NoAnimationCallbacks message if the animation
callback queue is still empty after invoking the callbacks.
This fixes rAF timing, which now runs at the correct (vsync) framerate.

after navigation.
The first bug was that iframes were not reflowed in their parent DOM
when the child page navigated. This is fixed by simply having the
constellation notify the appropriate script thread when navigation
occurs.
The second bug was that the compositor was unable to adjust the pipeline
for existing iframe layers, only new ones. This patch adds logic to do
that.
Closes#8081.
Simplify multi-touch state machine code
This is a minor refactoring of the touch tracking in compositor, to simplify the code and prepare for more gesture handling (like pinch to zoom). r? @glennw

When a layer containing an iframe changes, we also need to resize the
root layer of the subpage. This ensures that content from the child
layer tree is masked to the new size.
Fixes#8301.
This is enabled by default on Android, because Glutin currently sends mouse
events instead of touch events on Android. It's also useful for testing on
non-touch platforms.
Instead of always promoting iframes to StackingContexts, integrate them
into the display list. This prevents stacking bugs when
non-stacking-context elements should be drawn on top of iframes.
To accomplish this, we add another step to ordering layer creation,
where LayeredItems in the DisplayList are added to layers described by
the LayerInfo structures collected at the end of the DisplayList.
Unlayered items that follow these layered items are added to
synthesized layers.
Another result of this change is that iframe layers can be positioned
directly at the location of the iframe fragment, eliminating the need
for the SubpageLayerInfo struct entirely.
Iframes are the first type of content treated this way, but this change
opens up the possibility to properly order canvas and all other layered
content that does not create a stacking context.
Fixes#7566.
Fixes#7796.
Unify all compositor shutdown code paths into two methods, one which
starts the shutdown and the other that finishes it. This simplifies the
way the compositor shuts down and prevents "leaking" pixmaps when
exiting in uncommon ways.
Remove constellation round trip for subpage mapping in compositor.
This makes use of the new functionality that allows iframes to generate their own pipeline IDs in order to remove any knowledge of subpage ids from the compositor.
(This is the first of several commits removing subpage from parts of servo).

The structure of this function was confusing, so move some parts out into the
caller where they seem like a more natural fit and add documentation of the
functions
