The change was to move the querying of all content-related information
out of SelectorMatches and into the RuleMatching hash-fcn callback data.
This cuts the number of times that the content has to be queried by a
factor of 100. For example, instead of checking if a content element is
an HTML link for every selector in every rule, we determine it once and
pass that data into SelectorMatches.

These changes were Chris Waterson's idea, and David Baron helped alot
too. It should speed style resolution in general, particularly in cases
that were bottlenecked by style resolution, like scrolling trees
widgets.

There is still room for more improvement, but this is ready to rock so
I've checked it in.
