There's no actual need to build the stacking context tree before
performing layout. Instead, make it lazy and build the tree when it's
actually needed for something.
This avoids a bunch of work in situations where multiple synchronous
layouts are forced (typically by JavaScript) without painting or hit
testing taking place in between.
It also opens up for style invalidations that only target the stacking
context tree.
There's a subtle difference here. A "block box" in the spec is a
block-level box, while a "block container" is a box whose children are
either all inline-level boxes in an IFC, or all block-level boxes
participating in a BFC.
Notably, an "inline-block" box is a "block container" but not a "block
box" since it is itself inline-level.
