Instead of using the Wayland EGL platform. The later is very convenient
but has several limitations. Managing FBOs allows to make our code more
similar to that of MacOS as well as the Wayland software backend.
Most importantly, it will allow us to cleanly implement partial damage
by giving us direct acces to previously submitted buffers, allowing us
to blit back from them, similar like in
`NativeLayerCA::HandlePartialUpdate`.
There are several other fields where more control over buffers will
come in handy, too many to describe them here in detail.
Note: we still use individual buffer pools for each tile. However, this
change brings everything into place to allow us to change to a more
`SurfacePoolCA`-style shared pool. That will reduce GPU-memory usage.
Includes some minor cleanups here and there.

Very large gradients are rendered at a lower resolution which is fine for most gradients as they tend to be smooth transitions, but looks bad when there are hard stops.

The tile size edtermines the number of pixels we allocate for the gradinrt pattern, and is eventually clamped to a maximum value. Minimizing the tile size after other transformations avoids some cases where we request more area than we need.

Add MixBlend and ComponentTransfer to the picture composite modes that
unconditionally establish a raster root.
All the known bugs with the raster root code have been fixed, so let's
start incrementally enabling raster roots for more picture modes, and
fix any regressions that come from these before making raster roots
the default for all surfaces.

This becomes possible as a side effect of making sure that the current
buffer content is always completely valid, by blitting from the
previous buffer, analogous to
`NativeLayerCA::HandlePartialUpdate` and
`WindowSurfaceWaylandMB::HandlePartialUpdate`.
Apart from reducing overpaint, this improves correctness is many
situations, avoiding glitches.
Note: the approach here may not be optimal concerning efficiency yet
and improvements are planed after further refactoring.

If we are re-forwarding a texture that has not been updated then it might still
be read locked. We rely on the read lock for us to know when the Compositor or
Renderer has finished with the texture. So this change copies it to a new
texture, which we can safely read lock.
If the texture is not read locked then we ensure that it is set as updated,
which means we will read lock it as we forward it.

Instead of storing the start time which can be a very large number as f64, keep it in ns as u64 and do the float conversion for the time difference instead.
In addition, the merge function was not behaving synmetrically. It was intended to work as old.merge(new) but we have at least one place in the code where we write it as new.merge(old). In practice takiung the max of the start times when merging two start times does what we want in both direction and makes merging less error prone.

Whenever the asr of the deferred transform item differs from the current asr and we are about to enter a new StackingContextHelper (as opposed to just when we enter a transformed frame) flush the deferred transform item, so it's transform doesn't get lost.
This is similar to https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D8111. In fact we are extending https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D8111 to every time we enter a StackingContextHelper. https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D8111 was concerned with solving the case of having two nested transform items with different asrs and making sure we don't lose the outer transform item, here we need to solve the case of an outer transformed item and an inner StackingContextHelper (which is not for a transform) with a different asr and making sure we don't lose the outer transform item.
Note that some of the items I added CreatesStackingContextHelper return true don't always make a new StackingContextHelper. It seemed better to be consistent and I think the only downside is a little less perf because we have to create a few more scrolldata nodes.

Fenix makes use of the default clear color by setting it to a dark
color when the dark theme is enabled to avoid white flashes while
pages are loading. In bug 1663732 we hooked this functionality up to
webrender, however, it was only used by the draw compositor. Now with
software webrender on Android, we sometimes use
RenderCompositorLayersSWGL rather than the draw compositor, and users
are therefore experiencing white flashes during page loads.
This adds a clear_color argument to StartCompositing(), which
RenderCompositorLayersSWGL uses to set the CompositorOGL's clear
color. This patch also makes Renderer::clear_color not an Option
type, as we only ever used it in Some form, and that simplifies the
FFI.

We sometimes see webrender renderer initialization failing due to an
invalid max texture size being reported. The logcat shows that there
is no current GL context, and as a result glGet returns 0 when
querying the max texture size. This occurs after the
AndroidSharedBlitGL context has been destroyed on the renderer thread,
leaving no context as current.
This patch adds a call to MakeCurrent() for the renderer's OpenGL
context prior to renderer initialzation. This means we successfully
query the texture size and avoid the initialization error.

Previously, the child primitives of off-screen surfaces were not
being atomically treated as a single unit. This meant that the
primitives may be assigned to different sub-slices, under certain
edge case conditions.
As a short term fix, let the picture cache code know when an off
screen surface is being processed during primitive dependency
updates. This ensures that all child primitives within a surface
will be assigned to the same sub-slice.

This patch launches content processes with the `MOZ_HEADLESS` env var set
if they're using GTK with an X11 display (and there's no other reason
they'd need GTK).
The goal is to avoid exhausting Xorg's default limit of 256 clients if
there are many content processes due to Fission. If these conditions
are met, the content process doesn't need to eagerly connect to the X
server. This does not affect the sandbox policy, and content processes
can still use X if needed for, e.g., WebGL.
The boolean pref `dom.ipc.avoid-gtk`, set by default, controls this
feature. In the future it could also be extended to minimize GTK use
with Wayland displays.
Note that disabling `widget.non-native-theme.enabled`, which is also
enabled by default, will restore the use of X11 in all content processes
even if this pref is set; the alternative is that widgets wouldn't render
in that case.
This change will also save some memory for now-unnecessary instances of
GTK's global state, and improve content process startup time.
Remove also the temp pref dom.ipc.remote-mozIcon because it cannot work
anymore with the content process being headless.

This follows what we're already doing for EGL: a refcounted object
which can own the X connection, where we hold a weak reference from
the library object so that multiple contexts opportunistically share
the display but we close the connection when the last context is
freed/GCed.
In a process where GTK is initialized, we borrow its display instead of
opening a new one, which preserves the existing behavior.

Copy tiles data when tiles are opaque instead of blending them.
RenderCompositorLayersSWGL always blends tiles as premultiplied tiles. But it could not handle clear tiles and caused Bug 1718497. The problem does not happen with RenderCompositorSWGL. It copies tile data when tile is opaque. Then, RenderCompositorSWGL handles clear tiles correctly.

Original patch by Erik Kurzinger: D118304
The following is currently not well-defined by the EGL specification:
1. Create context.
2. Make it current with no default framebuffer (as a surface-less context, ie bind EGL_NO_SURFACE for both surfaces)
3. Make it current with a default framebuffer (ie with some draw/read surfaces)
After Step #3 what is the current draw buffer state? is it GL_NONE or GL_BACK?
With Mesa's EGL implementation, the answer is GL_BACK, and WebRender's EGL
backend currently assumes this behavior. However with the proprietary NVIDIA
driver the answer is actually GL_NONE, meaning any rendering done after step #3
will be lost.
As a fix, Firefox can simple call glDrawBuffer after making a surface current
to set the draw buffer appropriately, either to GL_BACK for a double-buffered
surface or to GL_FRONT for single-buffered. As mentioned above, this is
redundant on Mesa, but should also be harmless.

Now that picture cache tiles are raster roots, their scale is
expressed via the device-pixel scale. This means the calculated
scale can be too small when zoom factor is < 1 and a pinch-zoom
is currently active.
This is not a complete fix, it's an interim improvement until we
implement a proper fix. A complete fix will need to include the
device-pixel scale in the quantization process. However, this will
take some time to get right, since the existing code for selecting
a glyph size is quite complex due to different permutations and
how that code has evolved.
