We're about to allow OpBlock for invoking ops from multiple (cached)
Ops containers. To allow for drawing state changes to stick after
invoking such a cached block, we can't let OpBlock perform an implicit
save and restore of drawing state.
Instead, introduce OpPush and OpPop for explicit drawing state stack
management.

The layout package switched from interfaces to functions for
composing layouts. The switch made sure that no garbage is
generated for transient layouts such as Align, Inset, Stack, Flex.
Unfortunately, that left the stateful widgets and layouts: as soon
as their layout methods are embedded in a transient layout, a
closure is generated that escapes to the heap.
To avoid garbage for both transient as well as stateful widgets,
replace the functional approach with explicit begin/end methods.
A begin method generally starts an op block and returns the adjusted
constraints. An end method takes computed dimensions, ends its op
block and returns adjusted dimensions.

With layout.Widget a function instead of an interface, the amount
of per-frame garbage can be drastically reduced.
The layout code ends up slightly more explicit.
As a side benefit, the awkward ordering indexing for Flex and Stack
fit nicely into their new explicit Layout methods.

Pros:
- Much less per-frame garbage
- Allow future preprocessing of ops while building it
- Much fewer interface calls and pointer chasing
- Allow future serialization of ops for remote rendering
Cons:
- Slightly clumsier API
