Daniel Holbert 080e18fa47 Bug 1663722: Make nsPageSequenceFrame gracefully handle SizeToContent calls. r=emilio
nsPageSequenceFrame does a thing where it grows its desired size to fit the
AvailableISize and ComputedBSize (under the assumption that those are the
actual dimensions of our scrollport, which it wants to make maximal use of).

This behavior causes trouble when it's reflowed under the privileged
'sizeToContent' JS API.  That API makes us reflow with nscoord_MAX as the
viewport's ComputedBSize(), and this nscoord_MAX value gets passed down to be
the nsPageSequenceFrame's ComputedBSize as well.  When we reach the code in
question, we dutifully grow the desired size to that bogus huge value, which is
clearly wrong.

This patch addresses this issue by simply declining to grow the desired size in
the scenario where ComputedBSize() is unconstrained.  This leaves us with
reasonable values for our desired size (which are actually based on the
content, which makes it the right thing to do for the purpose of a
SizeToContent() call).
