Shannon Booth adf061a29c LibWeb: Avoid copying cached elements in HTMLCollection
Once we have built up a cache, we can use that internally for operations
on the collection, instead of copying over the list of elements every
time.

On a synthentic benchmark of a page with ~500 link elements, this
results in a 45% percent speedup on my machine.

```html
<body>
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
        ...
        <li><a href="#">Link N</a></li>
    </ul>

    <script>
        window.onload = function() {
            const startTime = performance.now();
            for (let i = 0; i < 1_000_000; ++i) {
                const numLinks = document.links.length;
            }
            const endTime = performance.now();
            const timeTaken = endTime - startTime;
            console.log(timeTaken);
        };
    </script>
</body>
</html>
```
