Implement discarding Document objects to reclaim space. <!-- Please describe your changes on the following line: --> This PR implements document discarding. Active documents are kept alive strongly, but inactive documents are only kept alive weakly. When a document is GCd, it is marked as discarded, and if it is every reactivated, a reload of the URL is triggered. Note that this PR is pretty aggressive about discarding, and can any inactive document (other than those being kept alive by other same-origin pipelines). We might want to damp it down a bit. Also note that this interacts with browser.html in that the reloading triggered by reactivating a document triggers mozbrowser events. To test this, I added a `-Zdiscard-inactive-documents` debug flag, which discards all inactive documents, even ones which are reachable through other same-origin pipelines. --- <!-- Thank you for contributing to Servo!
