Bug 1345804 part 3 - Change will-change to store nsIAtom rather than nsString.

Details 
There are several fields in Gecko's style struct hold strings, and for those fields currently we can only generate new string and copy it from servo to gecko every time, which is undesired.

will-change is one of them that we are going to do such copy, and that work is in https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/15813

The work there is currently blocked on initializing string array of mWillChange. And I think rather than adding a new FFI function for that, we can probably start trying changing the Gecko field to take atoms.

While you're here, do you want to change these to "else if"s?

Bug 1345804 part 2 - Add new AtomIdent unit to nsCSSValue.

It would probably be more efficient to use GetStringBufferValue() rather than GetStringValue().

(Diff revision 2)
> +    case eCSSUnit_AtomIdent:

Isn't this going to double-count atoms (and thus cause errors in the tool that checks the memory reporting stuff)?
Won't nsString share the string buffer, rather than copy its contents?

Yeah, I guess that's true given that GetStringValue also does a strlen...

Given the SizeOfIncludingThis impl of DynamicAtom and StaticAtom, I don't think so: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/58753259bfeb3b818eac7870871b0aae1f8de64a/xpcom/ds/nsAtomTable.cpp#220-236

Oh, hmmm, probably you're right. DynamicAtom and StaticAtom themselves are also shared all around, so they probably shouldn't be counted.
FWIW, there doesn't seem to be any test catching the atom double-count.

You can do a DMD [1] run to verify this.
