Aliaksandr Kalenik e677ab1699 LibWeb: Narrow :has() style invalidation to ancestor nodes ...

The current implementation of `:has()` style invalidation is divided
into two cases:
- When used in subject position (e.g., `.a:has(.b)`).
- When in a non-subject position (e.g., `.a > .b:has(.c)`).

This change focuses on improving the first case. For non-subject usage,
we still perform a full tree traversal and invalidate all elements
affected by the `:has()` pseudo-class invalidation set.

We already optimize subject `:has()` invalidations by limiting
invalidated elements to ones that were tested against `has()` selectors
during selector matching. However, selectors like `div:has(.a)`
currently cause every div element in the document to be invalidated.
By modifying the invalidation traversal to consider only ancestor nodes
(and, optionally, their siblings), we can drastically reduce the number
of invalidated elements for broad selectors like the example above.

On Discord, when scrolling through message history, this change allows
to reduce number of invalidated elements from ~1k to ~5.
