SoftDoublyIndexedTable for storing LiveAttributeValues: msg#00029

Subject: SoftDoublyIndexedTable for storing LiveAttributeValues
Hi Thomas.

My implementation of animation is (slowly) progressing.  I noticed just
now a bug in my program where some elements were forgetting their
animated attribute values.  I see that dom.svg.AbstractElement is using
a SoftDoublyIndexedTable to store the (namespace, localName,
LiveAttributeValue) triples.

When you call SVGOMElement.getAnimatedLengthAttribute it creates a new
SVGOMAnimatedLength and stores it in the table if there wasn't one there
already.  It doesn't keep a reference to this value around, though, and
so I guess the garbage collector cleans it up later on because the
SoftDoublyIndexedTable doesn't keep a hard reference to it.

I suggest changing AbstractElement to use DoublyIndexedTable.  I don't
see any obvious memory leak issues there, but maybe there are some that
prompted the use of the soft references in the first place.
