Summary
This PR adds support for the placeholderValue attribute to be included in the response from the /source (getPageSource) endpoint.

Motivation
Previously, placeholderValue was only available when requesting attributes for a specific element. However, this attribute is also valuable when analyzing the full accessibility tree returned by /source, particularly for identifying input fields and verifying placeholder text during automated accessibility testing.

By including placeholderValue in the full snapshot, we enable better support for end-to-end validations and tools that rely on the complete accessibility hierarchy.

Moved the logic for constructing attribute blocks into a separate method
for clarity and future extensibility. Also replaced direct type checks
with a reusable fb_supportsPlaceholder helper on FBXCElementSnapshotWrapper.
… comment

- Replaced custom placeholder support check with FBDoesElementSupportInnerText, as introduced in upstream PR
- Updated comment for fb_attributeBlockMapForSnapshot to clarify usage context and avoid confusion about method placement
