Caching children gives us no performance benefit, since it is mostly a simple list access anyway. In e10s it doesn't involve an IPC call, as the hierarchy is already cached in the main process.

Removing the children cache will simplify top-level chrome children since many of them are toggled in and out of visibility with no mutation change event.

The latter seems more accurate to what that method does, since we don't necessarily
forward that event to the OS, but might instead use it to update cached properties.

We need to do this because we can't rely on the main children cache invalidation.
Also, I don't think this really worked before with cell additions to a row, since only
the row's children would be invalidated, and the table's children would remain untouched.

Depends on D69878
