Instead of using 1 global queue for both resizes and style validation,
use 2 queues. This makes the code a lot simpler and fixes a bug where we
could accidentally stop restylying for very delayed restyles.
We now animate the core style information (see comment in
gtk_style_context_save()). A lot of widgets save + set custom style
classes/states during drawing and so can't be animated. It does work for
labels, menus and buttons though.
This has two goals:
1) Move invalidation code out of a nested if branch. Invalidation is
actually the most important thing this function does.
2) Have the changes bitmask available. It will needed for invalidate
calls to children later.
The design principles were:
- synchronized
If multiple style contexts are animating, they should all do an
animation step at the same time.
- degrades well
Even when there's thousands of style contexts all animating at the same
time, the animation steps don't starve the CPU. This is achieved by
making sure the timeout is really fast. It just sets a bunch of flags.
- no hidden bottlenecks
Turning animatability on or off on a style context is O(1).
So far it is unused.
This is only a small performance boost by itself, but it's necessary
for animations, so we need it.

(*) Adwaita and unico currently use custom properties, and
_gtk_css_value_compare() for custom properties always returns FALSE,
which makes this optimization never trigger. So I modified
_gtk_css_value_compare() to return TRUE for these properties instead and
reran the benchmark. Those are the numbers.
Add an internal API that allows GtkStyleContext to create a widget path
for the widget and with that bypassing gtk_widget_get_path() and that
function caching the path.
Instead, look up the variable upon use. This is more correct (for when
the engine changes due to save/restore() shenanigans.
And it removes code that doesn't use the standard code paths.
Deprecate public API where appropriate and make it no-ops.
Remove all calls to it.
Get rid of the 'transition' css property.
For now, this means spinners don't animate anymore.
When a parent style context exists, there's no need to queue_resize() on
the widget, because the parent widget will call
gtk_style_context_validate() on us and _then_ we can call queue_resize()
if we have to.
Note: custom CSS properties still use the default GtkCssValue and always
will.
So there is a difference in css values used between those, even though
they both carry a GdkRGBA payload.
... and actually set the widget on the style context. Note that this
function does not take a reference on the widget, which is a very good
reason to keep it private.
This way, we don't have to do magic inside GtkStyleContext, but have a
real API.
As a cute bonus, this object implements GtkStyleProvider itself. So we
can just pretend there's only one provider.
We now store the symbolic colors as a GtkCssValue which means that
we can reuse the color when resolving and storing the color in
the computed values in the style context.
Additionally we keep a last_resolved GtkCssValue cache in the
GtkSymbolicColor, and if resolving the color returns the same as
last time we reuse the old value. This further increases sharing
of Css Values.
Also, in places where we're computing a new CssValue based on an
old one, make sure that if nothing changes we're returning a reference
to the old one, rather than creating a new identical instance.
In particular gtksettings.h and gtkstylecontext.h needed to be included
in lots of places now.
Also, I order the includes alphabetically in a bunch of headers.
