Bisected test failure to range of 227412 (results not reproduced) to 227417 (reproduced results).

So I revisited the bisection with Eric. It seems that the initial reproduction case was actually reproducing a crash in the test. We have not been able to reproduce this crashing image diff issue that the bot is seeing. But we found that the crash is only happening on the release builds and started on r278417. a debug build of r278417 does not seem to crash. 

I am uncertain how a version bump in r278417 could have anything to do with this, but our archived builds seem to point to this revision as starting some kind of problem.

Probably has something to do with this test, which runs just before sticky-left.html

LayoutTests/fast/css/sticky/sticky-left-percentage.html:        window.resizeTo(800, 700)

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Or perhaps even more relevant is sticky-left-percentage-expected.html, which would be the one loaded right before. Note that it performs window.resizeTo(800, 700) from an inline script, before onload. I wonder if this confuses IPC.

Adding fast/css/sticky/sticky-left.html is a flaky image failure on [ Monterey Release wk2 arm64 ] as well.

Description:
fast/css/sticky/sticky-left.html

The first failure that I see on the dashboard was 3/18/2022 at r291490 , but this is not relevant to causing this issue.  This test seems to have been flaky since the start on Monterey.

History:
https://results.webkit.org/?suite=layout-tests&test=fast%2Fcss%2Fsticky%2Fsticky-left.html&platform=mac&version_name=Monterey&architecture=arm64&flavor=wk2&style=release&limit=50000

Image Diff:
https://build.webkit.org/results/Apple-Monterey-Release-AppleSilicon-WK2-Tests/r249750@main%20(2764)/fast/css/sticky/sticky-left-diffs.html

I have marked this test as flaky image failure while this issue is investigated.

Reopening since the landed change was just updating test expectations.
