This is the first of two patches to honor inflation during intrinsic
width calculation (which we need to do to make some form controls
inflate correctly).
This moves the logic currently in
nsLayoutUtils::IsContainerForFontSizeInflation into frame initialization
so that we can (later, for bug 706193) make that logic more complicated.
Add an extra change hint, UpdateOverflow, that can be used to specify that
a frame's overflow areas may have changed and that they need to be recalculated.
When a transform on a frame changes, instead of marking it for reflow, set this
hint instead.
There is an added virtual function on nsIFrame, UpdateOverflow, which is called
recursively on a frame when the corresponding hint is set, to allow it to
update its overflow areas.
This applies the font size inflation to reflow and painting of text
frames. However, it does not (by design) apply to intrinsic width
computation, since the inflation is itself a function of the containers
width, which can depend on the intrinsic width.
This implements computation of the font size inflation factor for a
given frame. Since Fennec does layout using a fake viewport whose width
represents a typical viewport width on the desktop and then allows users
to pan and zoom, fonts are not always readable even when zoomed. The
goal of this font size inflation is to ensure that when a block of text
is zoomed to fill the width of the device, the fonts are large enough to
read. We do this by increasing the font sizes in the page. Since this
increase is a function of the width of the text's container, the
inflation must be performed (in later patches in this series) after
style data computation and after intrinsic width computation.
The font size inflation factor does not vary *within* a block.
Since sync uses a whitelist (the services.sync.prefs.sync.* prefs) for
preferences (i.e., preferences are not synced by default), this patch
does not make any changes relating to sync, since we do not want the
inflation preferences synced across devices (since preferred settings
are likely to be device-specific).
