HTMLFormControlElement::labels should allow custom attributes.

[Yael]

This was introduced in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/60232.
HTMLFormControlElement::labels() needlessly caches its labels list.

This leaves the node list cache in NodeRareData.  I am also not sure we don't want to cache this value.  Consider the following test.

inputElement.labels.customProperty = 1;
alert(inputElement.labels.customProperty);

That should probably work, but probably won't with this patch or the current code.

Right, I was a bit too quick :)
I'll rework this patch.

Cache the node this time. We do want the test in comment #2 to pass :)
Sam, I did not quite understand your comment on irc about strong pointers and could not catch you afterwards.
If it is still a problem please let me know and I'll address that.

I don't deeply understand what's going one like Sam does, but I've got a few comments.

Could you please merge these .js and .html files? Keeping them separate causes nothing but difficulties, as you need a second step to get from test to its content.

> +labels.customProperty = 1;

Can you add a gc() call between these? I can't easily find any code marking the JS wrapper.

I think you need to change m_labelsNodeListCache to be a weak pointer for this not leak.

Thank you for the review. I am not sure I know what you mean by "weak pointer" ? I cannot find it in wtf. Do you mean DynamicNodeList* or something else?

Will do :)
I'll submit a new patch once the pointer issue is resolved.
Going through the logs, I see that the way we cache the DynamicNodeList wrappers was changed this week.
Please look at r84309 and r83990.

Verified that the LabelsNodeList is being garbage collected and the C++ object is being deleted.

Wait, it''s not a weak pointer, it's a potentially dangling pointer...

For those following along at home, could you please explain why this pointer will never point to released memory?

Could you please answer that before committing? If the code is wrong in that respect, the patch would be introducing a security bug.

Change LabelsNodeList::create() to take a pointer Node* instead of PassRefPtr.
Change m_labelsNodeListCache to be of type LabelsNodeList*.

The pointer is cleared in the destructor of LabelsListNode.
