Introduction.md: JS wrapper & Node lifecycle management
Hi all, I've recently written up an overview of how the lifecycle of JS wrappers <https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/main/Introduction.md#js-wrapper-lifecycle-management> and DOM nodes <https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/main/Introduction.md#referencing-counting-of-dom-nodes> are managed in WebKit in Introduction.md <https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/main/Introduction.md>. I'd recommend glancing over it even if you're an experienced WebKit contributor since I've seen so many patches that have obvious bugs in these two areas over the years. Also, let me know if you think of anything we should add or clarify in these two sections of Introduction.md. - R. Niwa
