The patches in this series refactor the process of rebuilding all style
data (RestyleManager::RebuildAllStyleData and
RestyleManager::DoRebuildAllStyleData) so that the process of rebuilding
all style data uses the existing restyle processing loops in
ProcessPendingRestyles. (Rebuilding all style data is what we do when
we need to throw away the rule tree because something has invalidated
the cached data in it.) This removes (increasing, especially with bug
960465 coming) code duplicated between the two codepaths, fixes some
omissions from the separate rebuild-all codepath, and (more immediately)
allows fixing lifetime issues of ReframingStyleContexts objects in bug
1110277 so that we can have a single ReframingStyleContexts for all of
the restyle processing in each restyle processing operation. In other
words, the goal is to change the rebuild-all process from a separate
codepath to a few variables that modify the way ProcessPendingRestyles
works (and make it do the extra work).
This is just a small first step in that process, which moves one piece
of code from a chunk of duplicated and to-be-removed code into a chunk
of code that will be preserved.

If you have a question about developing Mozilla, and can't find the solution
on http://developer.mozilla.org, you can try asking your question in a
mozilla.* Usenet group, or on IRC at irc.mozilla.org. [The Mozilla news groups
are accessible on Google Groups, or news.mozilla.org with a NNTP reader.]
You can download nightly development builds from the Mozilla FTP server.
Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by Mozilla developers for
testing, may be buggy. Firefox nightlies, for example, can be found at:
