This is a monster patch that turns all EventTargets into GC-allocated
PlatformObjects. Their C++ wrapper classes are removed, and the LibJS
garbage collector is now responsible for their lifetimes.
There's a fair amount of hacks and band-aids in this patch, and we'll
have a lot of cleanup to do after this.
This is similar to how Gecko avoids a reference cycle, where both the
NamedNodeMap and Attribute would otherwise store a strong reference to
their associated Element. Gecko manually clears stored raw references
when an Element is destroyed, whereas we use weak references to do so
automatically.
Attribute's ownerElement getter and setter are moved out of line to
avoid an #include cycle between Element and Attribute.
Note our Attribute class is what the spec refers to as just "Attr". The
main differences between the existing implementation and the spec are
just that the spec defines more fields.
Attributes can contain namespace URIs and prefixes. However, note that
these are not parsed in HTML documents unless the document content-type
is XML. So for now, these are initialized to null. Web pages are able to
set the namespace via JavaScript (setAttributeNS), so these fields may
be filled in when the corresponding APIs are implemented.
The main change to be aware of is that an attribute is a node. This has
implications on how attributes are stored in the Element class. Nodes
are non-copyable and non-movable because these constructors are deleted
by the EventTarget base class. This means attributes cannot be stored in
a Vector or HashMap as these containers assume copyability / movability.
So for now, the Vector holding attributes is changed to hold RefPtrs to
attributes instead. This might change when attribute storage is
implemented according to the spec (by way of NamedNodeMap).
