feat(aria/get-aria-value): new function to get aria values of a node - #5109

…ue (#5136)

Companion to #5109 but replaces `vNode.hasAttr`.

This resulted in finding a bug in Firefox which crashes the browser when
trying to access an empty array set to an idrefs property in element
internals. This is why the Firefox tests are failing (technically
crashing). Filled here
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2045887.

Add getAriaIdref and getAriaIdrefs to resolve an ARIA element-reference
attribute, AOM property, or ElementInternals value into virtual nodes,
filtering out disconnected references. This is the leftover idref(s)
resolution from #5109; consumers should use these instead of
getAriaValue for references.

Closes issue #5149

…odes of idrefs (#5151)

A new function that is very similar to `commons.dom.idrefs` function,
but understands handling ARIA idrefs properties and element internals
properties and additionally returns virtual nodes rather than DOM nodes.
This was the leftover work from #5109 to handle idrefs being a string
(attribute) or array of nodes (property).

I also update the `queryShadowFixture` function to allow both `#shadow`
and `#target` ids to exist in the light DOM. I looked at all uses of
`queryShadowFixture` and almost all of them use the `#shadow` in the
light DOM and `#target` in the shadow DOM, though a few rely on
`#target` in the light DOM (but no `#shadow`). The changes prioritize
the order of find things so that `#shadow` is used first as the
container, then `#target` (instead of the other way around) and the
target selector is found in the shadow DOM first, then in the light DOM
after (instead of the other way around). Lastly to support changing
either selector I allowed the 3rd parameter to be an object that could
define them (no current uses of `queryShadowFixture` pass a 3rd
parameter, but I left the option to just pass the target selector as a
string).

Use `Node` instead of `HTMLElement` when checking the element internals
prop value so we include all node types, such as SVGs. This is the
follow up to a [similar problem in the `get-aria-value`
pr](#5109 (comment)).

I also added an eslint rule to prevent us from using `HTMLElements` in
the future so we don't make the same mistake again.
