Skip rule matching during animations.
If a style change is due to animations updating their interpolated values
only, store a clone of the RenderStyle before the animated properties are
applied to use as a base for updating RenderStyle for the next frames.
The base RenderStyle is stored on the ActiveAnimations object and cleared
when a recalc is triggered by changes that require rule matching.
The machinery for detecting if a LocalStyleChange is caused by an animation
update only was already in place, so this CL is making use of that.
Running blink_perf.animation shows a frame rate increase of 18-40% with
the exception of three tests which are unchanged.
In general this seems to shave off nearly 50% of the time used in
recalcStyle for each animation frame if no inherited properties are
animated. For instance, in "The expansion of the dictionary definition card"
from issue 377939.
