Remove dangerous legacy fallback code from LayoutObject(), and do this
safely in the child insertion code instead.

Calling a virtual method in a base class constructor doesn't work.
IsLayoutNGObject() would always return false, since that's how it's
implemented in LayoutObject. This code could cause us to mark an NG
object as requiring legacy fallback, which would make the NG engine
delegate the job to the legacy engine. But the legacy engine would
refuse to do anything, since it's an NG object, so it would delegate to
NG, and so on... Infinite recursion.

The !IsLayoutNGObject() check in LayoutObject() was a mistake added in
CL:2414289, which basically had no effect at all. But we can just remove
the entire thing now, and rely on the new hook in the child insertion
code instead.

Note that the new test doesn't fail without this fix when run normally
by the test runner, because the test needs LayoutNGTextControl to be
disabled in order to fail (so that we attempt legacy fallback), but this
feature is currently set to "test". Unlike the fuzzer, it seems...
