Rename IOCompositor to Paint (#41176)

For a long time, the "Compositor" hasn't done any compositing. This is handled by WebRender. In addition the "Compositor" does many other tasks. This change renames `IOCompositor` to `Paint`. `Paint` is Servo's paint subsystem and contains multiple `Painter`s. This change does not rename the crate; that will be done in a followup change. Testing: This just renames types and updates comments, so no new tests are necessary. --------- Signed-off-by: Martin Robinson <mrobinson@igalia.com>

+///
+/// 1. Maintain a WebRender instance for each [`RenderingContext`] that Servo knows about.
+///    [`RenderingContext`]s are per-`WebView`, but more than one `WebView` can use the same
+///    [`RenderingContext`]. This allows multiple `WebView`s to share the same WebRender
+///    instance which is more efficient. This is useful for tabbed web browsers.
+/// 2. Receive display lists from the layout of all of the currently active `Pipeline`s
+///    (frames). These display lists are sent to WebRender, and new frames are generated.
+///    Once the frame is ready the [`Painter`] for the WebRender instance will ask libservo
+///    to inform the embedder that a new frame is ready so that it can trigger a paint.
+/// 3. Drive animation and animation callback updates. Animation updates should ideally be
+///    coordinated with the system vsync signal, so the `RefreshDriver` is exposed in the
+///    API to allow the embedder to do this. The [`Painter`] then asks its `WebView`s to
+///    update their rendering, which triggers layouts.
+/// 4. Eagerly handle scrolling and touch events. In order to avoid latency when handling
+///    these kind of actions, each [`Painter`] will eagerly process touch events and
+///    perform panning and zooming operations on their WebRender contents -- informing the
+///    WebView contents asynchronously.
