http://www.robohornet.org gives a score of 101.36 on master, and 102.68 with this PR. The latter is slightly better, but probably within noise level. So it looks like this PR does not affect DOM performance.
This is expected since `Box::new` is defined as:
```rust
impl<T> Box<T> {
#[inline(always)]
pub fn new(x: T) -> Box<T> {
box x
}
}
```
With inlining, it should compile to the same as box syntax.

The `stylearc` alias is left there temporarilly and will be removed completely in a later commit/PR where also `components/style/gecko/generated/structs_{debug|release}.rs` are re-generated (they still use the old alias).

<!-- Please describe your changes on the following line: -->
Before this PR, every object reflected in CSSOM is in `Arc<RwLock<_>>` to enable safe (synchronized) mutable aliasing. Acquiring all these locks has significant cost during selector matching:
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1311469
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1335941
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1339703
This PR introduce a mechanism to protect many objects with the same `RwLock` that only needs to be acquired once.
In Stylo, there is one such lock per process (in a `lazy_static`), used for everything.
I non-Stylo Servo, I originally intended to have one such lock per document (for author-origin stylesheets, and one per process for user-agent and user sytlesheets since they’re shared across documents, and never mutated anyway). However I failed to have the same document-specific (or pipeline-specific) `Arc` reachable from both `Document` nodes and `LayoutThread`. Recursively following callers lead me to include this `Arc` in `UnprivilegedPipelineContent`, but that needs to be serializable. So there is a second process-wide lock.
This was previously #15998, closed accidentally.
