There hasn't been any traction on this feature, and we keep
paying the maintenance and code size and memory usage penalty
of having this implementation.
We can revive this from VCS history in the future if we decide
to start working on it again. In the mean time, it's better
to remove it.
Now that Declaration implements nsIStyleRule, we don't need the memory
overhead of storing a StyleRule object for style attributes.
We also need to change this prior to patch 5, because the changes in
patch 5 that will allow rules to change (but declarations not) would
otherwise break due to style attribute object merging done by
nsAttrValue::ParseStyleAttribute.
The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.
CLOSED TREE makes big refactorings like this a piece of cake.
