script: Do not run layout in a thread (#31346)
* script: Do not run layout in a thread Instead of spawning a thread for layout that almost always runs synchronously with script, simply run layout in the script thread. This is a resurrection of #28708, taking just the bits that remove the layout thread. It's a complex change and thus is just a first step toward cleaning up the interface between script and layout. Messages are still passed from script to layout via a `process()` method and script proxies some messages to layout from other threads as well. Big changes: 1. Layout is created in the script thread on Document load, thus every live document is guaranteed to have a layout. This isn't completely hidden in the interface, but we can safely `unwrap()` on a Document's layout. 2. Layout configuration is abstracted away into a LayoutConfig struct and the LayoutFactory is a struct passed around by the Constellation. This is to avoid having to monomorphize the entire script thread for each layout. 3. Instead of having the Constellation block on the layout thread to figure out the current epoch and whether there are pending web fonts loading, updates are sent synchronously to the Constellation when rendering to a screenshot. This practically only used by the WPT. A couple tests start to fail, which is probably inevitable since removing the layout thread has introduced timing changes in "exit after load" and screenshot behavior.
