Changes/fixes:

Added a detection routine for dark window colors on Windows 8 and later (system themes using dark window frames) to better adapt to dark system colors. Theme developers can take advantage of this by checking for darkwindowframe="true" on #main-window in CSS selectors.
CSS classes prefixed with "--" no longer stop parsing of the selectors.
Several crash fixes.

Security fixes:

Made GC suppression more aggressive to prevent issues when actually out of memory.
Fixed a memory safety hazard in jpeg decoding.
Fixed a potentially exploitable crash when using bi-directional text.
Updated NSS to 3.19.4.2-PM, fixing CVE-2016-1938 among other things.
