/* This component implements an intelligent scrolling list.
 *
 * It wraps a list of <li> children; when items are added to the start or end
 * of the list, the scroll position is updated so that the user still sees the
 * same position in the list.
 *
 * It also provides a hook which allows parents to provide more list elements
 * when we get close to the start or end of the list.
 *
 * Each child element should have a 'data-scroll-token'. This token is used to
 * serialise the scroll state, and returned as the 'trackedScrollToken'
 * attribute by getScrollState().
 *
 * Some notes about the implementation:
 *
 * The saved 'scrollState' can exist in one of two states:
 *
 *   - stuckAtBottom: (the default, and restored by resetScrollState): the
 *     viewport is scrolled down as far as it can be. When the children are
 *     updated, the scroll position will be updated to ensure it is still at
 *     the bottom.
 *
 *   - fixed, in which the viewport is conceptually tied at a specific scroll
 *     offset.  We don't save the absolute scroll offset, because that would be
 *     affected by window width, zoom level, amount of scrollback, etc. Instead
 *     we save an identifier for the last fully-visible message, and the number
 *     of pixels the window was scrolled below it - which is hopefully near
 *     enough.
 *
 * The 'stickyBottom' property controls the behaviour when we reach the bottom
 * of the window (either through a user-initiated scroll, or by calling
 * scrollToBottom). If stickyBottom is enabled, the scrollState will enter
 * 'stuckAtBottom' state - ensuring that new additions cause the window to
 * scroll down further. If stickyBottom is disabled, we just save the scroll
 * offset as normal.
