Should we use this display list machinery on all OSes, not just new ones?

I don't think there's any point returning bools here. Your call sites ignore them; what is the caller supposed to do? Maybe just add an assertion to catch programmer mistakes.

I was planning to replace __MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED >= 101400 with ENABLE(WEBPROCESS_WINDOWSERVER_BLOCKING) in a coming patch. Would that be ok?

I removed the bool return type.
