Core: Drop the root parameter of jQuery.fn.init

mgol · web-flow · commit d2436df36a4b · 2022-08-29T19:03:12.000+02:00
The third parameter of `jQuery.fn.init` - `root` - was just needed to support `jQuery.sub`. Since this API has been removed in jQuery 1.9.0 and Migrate 3.x is not filling it in, this parameter is no longer needed. This parameter has never been documented but it's safer to remove it in a major update. Closes gh-5096
