[GTK][WPE] Scrolling with mouse wheel doesn't work on iframes with async scrolling enabled

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

The main frame is still scrolled instead. I think this used to work, so it's probably a "recent" regression.

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

On Mac the scrolling thread now hit-tests CALayers to determine which thing to scroll. GTK needs an implementation of:
RefPtr<ScrollingTreeNode> ScrollingTreeMac::scrollingNodeForPoint(FloatPoint point)

backends -> ports

Could we make Vector<RefPtr<CompositionLayer>> the return value instead? and point should be a const reference

[nodeID = scrollingNodeID()]

Okidokes.

I tried this originally and got some syntax error, but I'll have another go.

Not with this being a static function really - I did it this way to mirror how it's done in ScrollingTreeMac. Good point about the const reference though, will change that.

Same comment as above, but I'll try it again, maybe I just missed something.

There's three stages in the CompositionLayer:
- pending, for storing local changes before they are flushed at the end of an update (layer flush or scrolling),
- staging, for storing the flushed changes,
- committed, which mirrors the staging state and applies it to the composition framework.

My perspective is that the committed state is just a (otherwise necessary) copy of the staging state. Think of it as a delayed, on-demand copy that's updated by the composition engine when possible (i.e. when a new frame can be rendered and there's pending changes to incorporate into the visually-presented scene). As such, I feel accessing the staging state here (and elsewhere) would guarantee retrieving more accurate and up-to-date information. But it would require a new accessor in the CompositionLayer.

How is this expected to be propagated from the local state over to the committed state? Right now it depends on whatever update comes next -- either a layer flush done on the main thread, or an update triggered through UpdateScope upon scrolling being handled on the scrolling thread.

Also applies to the change in ScrollingTreeFrameScrollingNodeNicosia::commitStateBeforeChildren().

This should have a sensible initialization value (0 probably).
