/**
 * CompositableClient manages the texture-specific logic for composite layers,
 * independently of the layer. It is the content side of a ConmpositableClient/
 * CompositableHost pair.
 *
 * CompositableClient's purpose is to send texture data to the compositor side
 * along with any extra information about how the texture is to be composited.
 * Things like opacity or transformation belong to layer and not compositable.
 *
 * Since Compositables are independent of layers it is possible to create one,
 * connect it to the compositor side, and start sending images to it. This alone
 * is arguably not very useful, but it means that as long as a shadow layer can
 * do the proper magic to find a reference to the right CompositableHost on the
 * Compositor side, a Compositable client can be used outside of the main
 * shadow layer forwarder machinery that is used on the main thread.
 *
 * The first step is to create a Compositable client and call Connect().
 * Connect() creates the underlying IPDL actor (see CompositableChild) and the
 * corresponding CompositableHost on the other side.
 *
 * To do in-transaction texture transfer (the default), call
 * ShadowLayerForwarder::Attach(CompositableClient*, ShadowableLayer*). This
 * will let the LayerComposite on the compositor side know which CompositableHost
 * to use for compositing.
 *
 * To do async texture transfer (like async-video), the CompositableClient
 * should be created with a different CompositableForwarder (like
 * ImageBridgeChild) and attachment is done with
 * CompositableForwarder::AttachAsyncCompositable that takes an identifier
 * instead of a CompositableChild, since the CompositableClient is not managed
 * by this layer forwarder (the matching uses a global map on the compositor side,
 * see CompositableMap in ImageBridgeParent.cpp)
 *
 * Subclasses: Thebes layers use ContentClients, ImageLayers use ImageClients,
 * Canvas layers use CanvasClients (but ImageHosts). We have a different subclass
 * where we have a different way of interfacing with the textures - in terms of
 * drawing into the compositable and/or passing its contents to the compostior.
