Top layer fails for inline elements

Summary Top layer fails for inline elements

When RenderLayer::rebuildZOrderLists traverses RenderView's children to collect top layer elements, it fails if a top layer element is inline, because it is wrapped in an anonymous block. So the following fails when dialog.showModal() is called: <body><dialog style="position:static"></body> I think this can be solved with a special child of RenderView that the top layer renderers are added to. This is probably cleaner for when we implement :backdrop as well.

Actually it seems top layer elements should never be in-flow. The spec says for a top layer element: "If its specified position property is static, it computes to absolute." There is no mention of 'relative', though. Shouldn't relative also compute to absolute? I'll write to WHATWG.

The Fullscreen spec has been updated to make clear that there are no in-flow elements in the top layer; 'static' and 'relative' compute to 'absolute'. I've uploaded a patch to do this.
