LibWeb: Some improvements to absolute positioning

Absolutely positioned blocks now register themselves with their
containing block (and note that the containing block of an absolutely
positioned box is the nearest non-statically positioned block ancestor
or the ICB as fallback.)

Containing blocks then drive the layout of their tracked absolutely
positioned descendants as a separate layout pass.

This is very far from perfect but the general direction seems good.
