Convert functions to expressions for evaluation (reverses #5379). Adds support for interpolate-hcl and interpolate-lab expression operators to replace the colorSpace function property (fixes #5326). Switches to shortest-path interpolation for HCL (fixes #5811).

Evaluation of converted expressions is slightly faster:

However, conversion+creation is slower. I may try to reimplement conversion to directly construct expression instances, rather than converting to a JSON representation.

What's still not working currently is the default property for functions. @anandthakker, I noticed the function tests for this were skipped. It looks like the skips were added as part of #4777. Do you recall if we ever came up with a plan for how to convert defaults into expression syntax?

I think now that we're handling spec-defined defaults outside of expression evaluation (i.e. in a catch block in the error-handling wrapper function), it would probably be simplest to handle user-defined defaults that way, too. Including functions' defaulting semantics in the converted expression would be possible, but undesirably complicated.

Add support for interpolate-hcl and interpolate-lab expression operators to replace the colorSpace function property.

Shelving this for now. Conversion to JSON intermediate format isn't fast enough, and it turned out to be difficult and ugly to implement direct conversion to Expression subclasses.
