[CSSRegions] Not possible to clear the selection when mixing content from different FlowThreads

[CSSRegions] Not possible to clear the selection when mixing content from different FlowThreads

Patch by Javier Fernandez in WebKit. See http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/155058

When using CSS Regions is usual that the RenderTree doesn't match
the DOM Tree in terms of relative position of the nodes. Besides,
usually the content of a certain node is split and spread across
multiple blocks, rendered in different positions.

Regarding the Selection, this problem is even more important; the
selection direction changes when crossing the FlowThread
boundaries. This weird behavior is also present in other layouts
using non-regular positioning mechanisms, like absolute,
static. However, for those layouts the RenderTree preserves the
order of the nodes, unlike the CSS Regions layout model.

Because of how the RenderTree is generated with CSS Regions, the
RenderView::setSelection algorithm is not able to repaint some of
the rectangles defined during the selection process. In order to
face this issue, the proposed fix determines whether it should
backwards traversing the RenderTree, from the "stop" node to the
RenderView node.
