Before this change, whenever ImageStyleValue had a non-null
`m_image_request`, it was always leaked along with everything related
to the document to which this value belongs. The issue arises due to
the use of `JS::Handle` for the image request, as it introduces a
cyclic dependency where `ImageRequest` prevents the `CSSStyleSheet`,
that owns `ImageStyleValue`, from being deallocated:
- ImageRequest
- FetchController
- FetchParams
- Window
- HTMLDocument
- HTMLHtmlElement
- HTMLBodyElement
- Text
- HTMLHeadElement
- Text
- HTMLMetaElement
- Text
- HTMLTitleElement
- Text
- HTMLStyleElement
- CSSStyleSheet
This change solves this by visiting `m_image_request` from
`visit_edges` instead of introducing new heap root by using
`JS::Handle`.
This allows to partially solve the problem of cyclic dependency between
HTMLImageElement and SharedImageRequest that prevents all image
elements from being deallocated.
As it turns out, making everyone piggyback on HTML::ImageRequest had
some major flaws, as HTMLImageElement may decide to abort an ongoing
fetch or wipe out image data, even when someone else is using the same
image request.
To avoid this issue, this patch introduces SharedImageRequest, and then
implements ImageRequest on top of that.
Other clients of the ImageRequest API are moved to SharedImageRequest
as well, and ImageRequest is now only used by HTMLImageElement.
This fixes an issue with image data disappearing and leading to asserts
and/or visually absent images.
This is all ad-hoc since no spec currently exists for this behavior.
Basically, ImageStyleValue now uses ImageRequest for fetching and
decoding of images.
This already leads to visible improvements on many websites.
