This kind of HTML now produces a single piece of whitespace:
<span> </span> <span> </span> <span> </span>
We achieve this by checking if the last fragment on the last line ends
in whitespace. If so, we either don't add a fragment at all (for the
current chunk) or we simply skip over all whitespace at the head of
the current chunk (instead of collapsing it to a single ' '.)
The box tree and line boxes now all store a relative offset from their
containing block, instead of an absolute (document-relative) position.
This removes a huge pain point from the layout system which was having
to adjust offsets recursively when something moved. It also makes some
layout logic significantly simpler.
Every box can still find its absolute position by walking its chain
of containing blocks and accumulating the translation from the root.
This is currently what we do both for rendering and hit testing.
