LibWeb: Make Layout::FormattingState copies shallow

Previously, each NodeState in a FormattingState was shared with the
parent FormattingState, but the HashMap of NodeState had to be copied
when making FormattingState copies.

This patch makes copying instant by keeping a pointer to the parent
FormattingState instead. When fetching immutable state via get(), we may
now return a reference to a NodeState owned by a parent FormattingState.

get_mutable() will copy any NodeState found in the ancestor chain before
making a brand new one.
