LibWeb: Give equal computed values one canonical representation

[tcl3]

See individual commits for details.

This prevents crashes in 33 / 1000 Domato test cases when run with the LIBWEB_VERIFY_STYLE_DIFF_FAST_PATH flag.

Fixes crashes in 4 tests when running test-web --verify-style.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates CSS metadata and computed-value processing. Numeric SVG stroke values become pixel lengths. Single-value border-spacing declarations become two-value lists. Containment keyword combinations collapse to strict or content. Resolved colors use canonical RGB forms. FontValues retains the computed font-size handle. Style-record caches now manage pinning, cleanup, and publication state. Browser and WPT expectations cover these changes.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cbb1a

The change can alter fractional CSS computed values and currently relies on a test baseline that accepts an uncaught error while dropping transition assertions. These bounded correctness and test-readiness concerns should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

In `@Libraries/LibWeb/Rust/src/css/absolutize.rs`:
- Around line 422-428: Update the canonical_legacy_rgb call in the RGB branch to
use COLOR_SYNTAX_LEGACY for fully resolved sRGB values instead of
color_base.color_syntax, while preserving modern syntax when components cannot
be represented by legacy syntax. Keep the existing unchanged/changed Absolutized
handling intact.
- Around line 226-236: Update canonical_legacy_rgb to use a non-quantizing color
conversion instead of color_resolution::to_color, preserving fractional RGB and
alpha components through rgb_color_function. Add tests covering fractional color
channels and fractional alpha, including values such as rgb(12.5 1.25 0 / 0.1),
and verify canonicalization does not round them.

In
`@Tests/LibWeb/Text/expected/css/transition-from-inherited-after-change-value.txt`:
- Around line 4-5: Fix the test or transition implementation around
childTransition so the intended transition state is established before accessing
transitionProperty and final-style assertions. Ensure childTransition is defined
when those assertions run, and update the expected output to contain only valid
assertion results without the uncaught test error.

Looks good, just has a trivial conflict.

6235-6383: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Delegate the new normalization rules to Rust instead of reimplementing them in C++.

compute_svg_number_as_length, collapse_containment_list, and the new BorderSpacing, Contain, StrokeDasharray, StrokeDashoffset, and StrokeWidth cases in compute_value_of_property reimplement logic natively in C++. Every other dedicated compute rule in this file delegates to Rust through ComputedValuesFFI::rust_compute_* (font-size, font-weight, font-width, corner-shape, border/outline-width, line-height, math-depth, transform-origin, font-feature-settings, animation-name). This PR already implements equivalent logic in Libraries/LibWeb/Rust/src/css/style_compute.rs: stroke_dasharray_numbers_as_lengths (lines 2359-2395), border_spacing_pair (lines 2397-2406), and collapse_containment_list (lines 2408-2442).

Two implementations of the same normalization rule must stay in sync by hand. This matters here specifically: border-spacing and stroke-dashoffset are "animation-type": "by-computed-value" in Properties.json (lines 1214 and 4462), so collect_animation_effects_into reaches compute_value_of_property for these properties during animation, and compute_property_values reaches it for every longhand when building document/root style. Both paths are real, not dead code. This PR's own objective is eliminating unequal representations of equal computed values; a future edit to only one of the two implementations reintroduces exactly that class of bug.

As a secondary note, compute_style_value_list (used for StrokeDasharray) always allocates a new StyleValueList, even when no entry changes, unlike the Rust stroke_dasharray_numbers_as_lengths, which returns None to let the caller preserve the input's identity when unchanged. This is a pre-existing trait of compute_style_value_list (already used for AnimationName), not unique to this diff, but it is another gap that disappears if this path delegates to the Rust implementation.

Expose FFI wrappers for these three rules, mirroring compute_border_or_outline_width's pattern of calling ComputedValuesFFI::rust_compute_border_or_outline_width and falling back only when unhandled.
