Before this change, whenever element's attributes changed, we would add
a flag to "pending invalidation", indicating that all descendants whose
style uses CSS custom properties needed to be recomputed. This resulted
in severe overinvalidation, because we would run invalidation regardless
of whether any custom property on affected element actually changed.
This change takes another approach, and now we decide whether
descendant's style needs to be recomputed based on whether ancestor's
style recomputation results in a change of custom properties, though
this approach adds a little overhead to style computation as now we have
to compare old vs new hashmap of custom properties.
This brings substantial improvement on discord and x.com where, before
this change, advantage of using invalidation sets was lost and we had
to recompute all descendants, because almost all of them use custom
properties.
UnresolvedStyleValue::create() has one user where we know if there are
any arbitrary substitution functions in the list of CVs, and two users
where we don't know and just hope there aren't any. I'm about to add
another user that also doesn't know, and so it seems worth just making
UnresolvedStyleValue::create() do that work instead.
We keep the parameter, now Optional<>, so that we save some redundant
work in that one place where we do already know.
A couple of arbitrary substitution functions require us to get or
produce some style value, and then substitute its ComponentValues into
the original ComponentValue list. So this commit gives CSSStyleValue a
tokenize() method that does so.
Apart from a couple of unusual cases like the guaranteed-invalid value,
style values can all be converted into ComponentValues by serializing
them as a string, and then parsing that as a list of component values.
That feels unnecessarily inefficient in most cases though, so I've
implemented faster overrides for a lot of the basic style value
classes, but left that serialize-and-reparse method as the fallback.
