This commit adds a scroll origin, nsGkAtoms::relative, which can be used to
mark main thread scrolling that can be combined with a concurrent APZ scroll.
The behavior of this is controlled by a pref, apz.relative-update. This pref
is initially activated and is intended as an aid to narrowing down causes
of regressions for users in bug reports.
Relative scroll updates work by tracking the last sent or accepted APZ
scroll offset. This is sent along with every FrameMetrics. Additionally,
a flag is added to FrameMetrics, mIsRelative, indicating whether the
scroll offset can be combined with a potential APZ scroll. When this
flag is set, AsyncPanZoomController will apply the delta between the sent
base scroll offset, and sent new scroll offset.
This flag is controlled by the last scroll origin on nsGfxScrollFrame. The
new origin, `relative`, is marked as being able to clobber APZ updates,
but can only be set if all scrolls since the last repaint request or
layers transaction have been relative.
