Much of St is undocumented, aside from input/output arguments. This is
no doubt because a lot of it parallels Gtk closely, but is worth
improving since many new programmers are not familiar with Gtk.

StThemeNodes are built around the assumption that they're "immutable",
that means they are created once with certain parameters (that resolve
to certain css properties) and then replaced with new ones in case those
parameters changed.
Changes to the internal information stored by theme nodes (i.e. the css
properties, font names or the cached scale-factor) are not all handled
the same though: For changes to the font or the scale-factor we remove
all theme nodes from the cache and let the widgets which are on stage
generate new theme nodes. For changes to the css properties/the
stylesheet, we invalidate the properties of all theme nodes but keep
them in the cache using `_st_theme_node_reset_for_stylesheet_change()`.
So be a bit more consistent and handle changes to the css-properties/the
stylesheet stored by StThemeNodes the same way as changes to the font or
scale-factor.

Each node stores the scale factor in place when it was created.
Creating nodes with the same style, but with different scale
factors, yields different nodes.
Use the node's scale factor instead of retrieving the context's
one.

Instead of every individual StThemeNode. There are essentially two kinds
of theme nodes: Those we create for lookups, and those interned by the
theme context and used by StWidgets. Listening to the signal on the former
is pointless as they are short lived and not meant to be really used for
drawing. So it is only essential to track stylesheet changes in those we
intern for later use.
This change does precisely that, it lets the StThemeContext track the
stylesheet changes and let all known theme nodes reset their state for
it.
The internal array holding all connected handlers for this signal in glib
was about the biggest single allocation made in gnome-shell, as interned
theme nodes nodes are around the 4 to 5 digit numbers. This essentially
makes it disappear.
This however means that widgets that are explicitly set a theme through
st_widget_set_theme() don't get their theme node implicitly updated.
There's little reasons to use that API, so perhaps this is an acceptable
tradeoff.

With a high enough amount of actors, there may be enough theme nodes and
signal connections on StTheme::custom-stylesheets-changed that
g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by*() on dispose becomes expensive, this may
become a surprisingly hot spot in StWidget::style-changed.
Keep the handler ID around and use g_signal_handler_disconnect() to avoid
linear lookups for the matching func/data.

Actors themed through CSS should ideally get sizes and positions that
conform to the "pixel grid". A notorious example is the panel that has a
height of 1.86em. On unchanged font settings and hidpi that translates to
55px, which leaves the workarea with "half pixels" that hidpi wayland
applications don't know how to fully cover.
If the requested height is a multiple of the scale factor, the workarea
and maximized applications can then work on full pixels.

Unlike pango_font_description_from_string(),
pango_font_description_set_family() requires a already properly
formatted font family string. The proper format is a comma seperated
list of font families, but we generated a "comma space" separated list.
Passing a incorrectly formatted font family string to pango seems to
cause wierd issues, where the wrong font is sometimes selected.
For example, this fixes a font selection issue on zh_TW.UTF-8 locale for
chinese characters, where previously the "Droid Sans" font was selected
instead of "Source Han Sans TW" even though fontconfig had placed
"Source Han Sans TW" before "Droid Sans".

on_custom_stylesheet_changed() would set properties_computed to FALSE
without freeing the old properties, then the properties pointer would
be overwritten in ensure_properties().

We currently don't have any code either in gnome-shell or
gnome-shell-extensions setting margins directly with the Clutter API.
On the other hand, the current behavior doesn't allow us to remove a
style class with margins and have that be reflected, so removing this
special casing seems like the right thing to do at this point.

GTK+ added support for a -gtk-icon-style property in themes to
enforce a particular icon style. Do the same for shell themes
with an -st-icon-style property, with the same set of possible
values as the GTK+ variant:
'requested' - use symbolic or fullcolor icon depending on the
icon name (default)
'regular' - enforce fullcolor icons
'symbolic' - enforce symbolic icons
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740447
It's implemented similar to the padding property, but instead of taking
into account the margin values at drawing time in node-drawing, we set
the clutter actor margins in StWidget when the style is computed.
In the case that a CSS margin is not specified, we don't to set a value
of 0 to the clutter actor margin. In this manner it allows to use
Clutter margin values set in the code. However, the margins that are set
both in the code and in the CSS on the same side, the result is
unpredictable.
We avoid to set the clutter actor margin values to 0 if there's no CSS
margin values defined, so we still allow clutter actors to use margin
set in the code.

The comment clearly intended that for this to be the case, but a typo
prevented this from actually being done. This fixes the focused state
of the search field not working more than once.

In most cases, we'll transition between two states on hover / focus.
Instead of recalculating and repainting our resources on state change,
simply cache the last state when we transition.

The background image, background image shadow and border image are
allocation-indepedent, so we can keep these in the node. Given that these are
are likely cached in the StTextureCache, the slight increase in code complexity
may not be worth caching these textures and materials -- we might be better off
just computing when we need to paint.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697274
This ensures that two widgets sharing the same theme node won't trample
on each other's prerendered materials if the actors are of different
sizes. This also tries to be very careful to share as much as possible
during a transition.
This has the side effect that if a widget changes state a bunch of times,
we won't cache every state. Since we expect that state changes are
infrequent and that most cases we'll be able to use the texture cache
to do most of the heavy lifting, this cost is much more insignificant
than rendering a number of different actors with the same theme node
and different sizes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697274
Since we now share theme nodes between, we shouldn't cache the paint state
across all nodes. As a first step towards putting this in the actor, split
out the state into another structure. Keep it in the theme node for now
so that we don't make too many changes in one commit.
It's possible that some of these pieces of drawing state could be shared
between theme nodes. For the sake of simplicity, assume that none of them
are shared or should be shared. A future commit could identify those that
could be shared and move them back into the theme node.

Similar to the existing generic getter methods, add lookup functions
for URL properties like the standard background-image/border-image
properties.

As theme nodes keep a cache of matched properties, we need to make
sure to update it when the list of stylesheets changes. In particular
this fixes a regression from commit dc2ec0a8f9, which caused
extensions with stylesheets to crash the shell when re-enabled (for
instances when coming back from the lock screen).

According to css3-transition, transition-duration is expressed
as a time, that is, in seconds or milliseconds. Fix that by
recognizing numbers with units and implicitly converting to
milliseconds after parsing.

realpath() does a series of lstat() on each path component to resolve
symbolic links, but we just want to get an absolute path, and we don't
really care if it is physical or not. Going through a GFile does the
canonicalization we need, and is a lot faster.
