Remove GraphicsLayerCA specific TiledBacking virtual functions I'm going to implement TiledBacking subclass for WinCairo (Bug 233676). TiledBacking has a lot of GraphicsLayerCA specific virtual functions. Let's remove them. Covariant return type will help to do that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariant_return_type https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/virtual

This patch removes unnecessary virtual functions which are not called by WebCore common code. They are called only by GraphicsLayerCA implementation layer. If the WebCore common code will need the virtual methods, we can add them.

I misunderstood the reason why we remove them. We should remove those TiledBacking virtual functions because they aren't called by WebCore layer, not because they are platform-specific. I should change the bug title and the change log. GraphicsContext interface has some platfrom specifix virtual functions. But, we can't remove them because they are called by WebCore layer, they are needed.

How do you think about an idea renaming TileController to CATiledBacking or TiledBackingCA?

Because GraphicsLayerCA::tiledBacking() is a override function I can't rename even thouth this patch changed it to return TileController*. I think renaming TileController seems better. regardless of whether the method or the class will rename, I think I should separate patches for brevity. WDYT?
Umm, this refactoring shouldn't be controversial. But, I give up this patch.
