feat(syntax): share one node path API between css and html - #22569
Conversation
Add the `NodePath` contract to `SourceProcessor`, which accepts only a path satisfying it, and align both accessors to it: HTML gains `index`, `range`, `loc`, `childCount`, `childAt`, `nameStart`, `contentStart`; `tagName` becomes `name`, `sourceSpanAt` becomes `sourceSlice`; CSS `childAt` takes the node last and its writers leave the path. Derived reads are computed only when called, and the HTML walk no longer computes `parent` per visit. A CSS leaf no longer reports a recycled id's leftover children.
`path.stop()` ends the walk in both languages: no visitor fires after the current one, as in Babel. A print still writes the whole output; a walk-only parse stops parsing at the next safe point. `use()` takes an array of node types for one visitor, resolved once at registration. Document the comparison with Babel's NodePath as the roadmap.
Drop `range` (`start`/`end` say the same without an array), fold `sourceSlice` into `source(start, end)`, and replace `children` / `childAt` with `child(i, n)`, 0 past the end in both languages. HTML keeps a per-parent cursor so a loop over `child` steps one link per child; its tree links and CSS's child lists move off the path.
`name` and `value` return what the language's spec defines, as ESTree's `Identifier.name` and `Literal.value` do: CSS resolves escapes (folding `unescapedName`, `unescaped`, `atKeyword`), HTML folds `data`, `doctypeName` and `piTarget` and answers "" for a node without one. The written spelling is `source(nameStart, nameEnd)`; a url's contents are `valueStart`/`valueEnd`, and the doctype ids `publicId`/`systemId`.
An attribute is a node with a negative id, as `Attr` is in the DOM and `JSXAttribute` in ESTree: `name`, `value` (decoded), `source`, `start`/`end`, `nameStart`/`nameEnd`, `valueStart`/`valueEnd` and `loc` read it, and `type` answers `NodeType.Attribute`. Only `attributeCount`, `attribute(i, n)` and `findAttribute` stay attribute-specific; `tagEnd` folds into `contentStart`.
…ends An element closed by a later start tag spanned that tag, one closed by an ancestor's end tag or end of input stopped at its own start tag. It now ends where the closing token starts (never before its own tag or last child), and only the element an end tag names spans that tag. CSS `name`, `nameStart`/`nameEnd` and `blockToken` answer "" or -1 on a node that has none instead of reading another node's slot.
One table for the shared members with the CSS, HTML and ESTree meaning of each, the shape language-specific members follow, and the conventions a JavaScript path will keep.
`value` returns what CSS Syntax defines: a number for a number, percentage or dimension (its unit through `unit`), a comment's text without its delimiters. `source` slices the caller's input, so a NUL or an escape the input ran out of reads as written; the printer keeps its resolved reading internally.
Move the child cursor's epoch to where the tree under a walk changes (parse start, streamed sync and flush) instead of every dispatch, and end a popped element out of line so `popOpen` stays small.
Instead of a flag checked after every visitor call, `stop()` empties the compiled visitor lists in place, so a running loop ends after the visitor that asked and none fires again; the grammar puts them back when the parse ends. The loops are what they were before `stop()` existed.
`range` replaces `start`/`end`, and `nameRange`, `valueRange`, `blockRange` and `contentRange` replace each start/end pair, as acorn's `range`; a node without the part answers null. `loc` returns `[line, column, endLine, endColumn]`. CSS `childRules` is `rules`, beside `declarations`. HTML `contentRange` reaches the end tag on every element. The parsers and printers keep scalar readers, so only a caller asking for a range allocates one.
…ment The adoption agency and the generic end-tag rule write the element's end before popping it, and `popOpen` then recomputed it from the token's start, so `<b>b</b>` and `<span>s</span>` ended before their end tag. A popped element now never ends before what it already holds.
The CSS minifier gained readers written against `unescapedName`, `start` and `childAt`; they now read `name`, the scalar `_startOf` and `child(i, n)`, and the two that unescape a name themselves read `_rawName` so their output is unchanged.

Shorten the changeset sentence to 80 characters or fewer.
The new sentence is about 108 characters. The changeset rules allow at most 80 characters. For example: "Share one node path API between css.syntax and html.syntax."
As per path instructions: "single imperative sentence <= 80 chars".

Summary
CSS and HTML visitors read nodes through different accessors. This PR gives both one node path API, shaped for a future struct-of-arrays JS parser: a node is an integer row id and every member is a column lookup, so nothing allocates unless a range is asked for.
HTML attributes are nodes too. Walk cost vs
main(callgrind, same input): within noise (~+0.7% worst case HTML, CSS unchanged); minified output is byte-identical.What kind of change does this PR introduce?
