Description

This is probably firefox issue (or even just me). But maybe is it related to servor configuration?

1. Serve some page with `servor --reload`, open it in FF
2. Scroll the page vertically
3. Trigger a reload with style changing
4. Page reloads but the scroll position is reset

Additional info:

Firefox 89.0.1, Win 8.1
Tested in Chromium 88.0.4324.150 and there is no problem. There is also no problem in Firefox if I run `servor` without `--reload` flag and do reload with F5.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with `servor --reload` in Firefox, following the listed scroll and style-change steps, then compare with Chromium and a normal F5 reload. Trace the reload behavior responsible for the position reset. Done means the vertical scroll position is retained after the reload in Firefox without breaking the reported working cases.
