Document::parsing() and Document::setParsing() are non-sense and should be removed

void Document::implicitOpen()
{
....
    m_parser = createParser();
    setParsing(true);
    setReadyState(Loading);
}

void Document::finishedParsing()
{
    ASSERT(!scriptableDocumentParser() || !m_parser->isParsing());
    ASSERT(!scriptableDocumentParser() || m_readyState != Loading);
    setParsing(false);
...

void FrameLoader::stopLoading(UnloadEventPolicy unloadEventPolicy)
{
...
    if (m_frame->document() && m_frame->document()->parsing()) {
        finishedParsing();
        m_frame->document()->setParsing(false);
    }


It's read in various places, and set some by the XML parsers.

It appears to be part of the loader state machine, but doesn't ever consult the DocumentParser as to what it's actually doing, so is undoubtably confused. :)

Mass moving XML DOM bugs to the "DOM" Component.

We still have these:

https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/3337a23e60d4843d0ef0beda84b02115b2ca306d/Source/WebCore/dom/Document.h#L782

https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/ac4cebfbe41a934ff5d256c284c081b6ceec252b/Source/WebCore/dom/Document.cpp#L3338

void Document::setParsing(bool b)
{
    m_bParsing = b;

    if (m_bParsing && !m_sharedObjectPool)
        m_sharedObjectPool = makeUnique<DocumentSharedObjectPool>();

    if (!m_bParsing && view() && !view()->needsLayout())
        view()->fireLayoutRelatedMilestonesIfNeeded();
}

etc.

Do we need to keep it or is it something we have changed and now have different purpose about this code? Thanks!

This code still needs refactoring / reworking.
