[webkit-dev] Style guide: enforce `while (true)` over `for (; ; )`

[Ryosuke Niwa]

I do prefer for (;;) because of less typing but if the existing code mostly uses while (true) then we should go with it.

Given 2/3 of the usages are `while (true)` and only 1/3 is `for (;;)` from code search, I would suggest enforcing `while (true)`. I also think it is generally more explicit and readable than `for (;;)`. If everyone agrees, I’ll enforce this via webkit-style, so we can end up in a consistent place.
