RFR: 8342703: CSS transition is not started when initial value was not specified

When the initial value of a styleable property is not specified in a stylesheet, no transition is started:
.button {
transition: -fx-opacity 1s;
}
.button:hover {
-fx-opacity: 0.5;
}
The expected behavior is that a transition is started in this case, since the default value of `-fx-opacity` is 1.
The reason for this bug is that `StyleableProperty` implementations do not start a CSS transition when the value is applied for the first time. The intention behind this is that a node that is added to the scene graph should not start transitions. CSS transitions should only be started _after_ the node has been shown for the first time.
The logic to detect this situation is currently as follows:
// If this.origin == null, we're setting the value for the first time.
// No transition should be started in this case.
TransitionDefinition transition = this.origin != null && getBean() instanceof Node node ?
NodeHelper.findTransitionDefinition(node, getCssMetaData()) : null;
However, this does not work. When no initial style is specified in the stylesheet, `this.origin` will not be set, and thus no transition will be started even after the node has been shown. The new logic works like this:
A `Node.initialCssState` flag is added. Initially, this is `true`. Manually calling `applyCss` or similar methods will not clear this flag, as we consider all manual CSS processing to be part of the "initial CSS state". Only at the end of `Scene.doCSSPass` will this flag be cleared on all nodes that have expressed their interest. This mechanism ensures that a node will be eligible for CSS transitions only after the following conditions have been satisfied:
1. The node was added to a scene graph
2. CSS processing was completed for a scene pulse
