77264d3e94 Teach sky.Paragraph how to actually compute layout
Previously layout was exiting early because the frame view
was null. Now we actually compute some layout and paint the
text. This patch makes paragraph_builder_test pass.

68b06c8736 Sketch a DOM-free API for laying out and painting text
Rather than using the DOM to upload text and styling information into the
engine, this patch begins sketching a more direct API that bypasses the DOM and
CSS. Currently, this API doesn't do anything, but it's a first step.

The approach is to have a ParagraphBuilder object that can record a tree of
style interior nodes and text leaves. The build() function then applies
container-level styling information (such as TextAlign) and returns a Paragraph
object that can undergo layout and paint.

The inputs to the builder process are immutable style objects constructed from
primitive values. These primitives are currently carbon-copies of the primitive
we use in the framework today. After this patch lands, I'll convert the frame
to re-expose these values instead of re-defining them.
