Wires OpaqueRange into the Custom Highlight API so highlights can cover the value text of <input> and <textarea>.

  • Highlight accepts OpaqueRange alongside Range and StaticRange.
  • Defines when an OpaqueRange triggers repaints and when they're ignored.
  • highlightsFromPoint() returns OpaqueRange hits inside <input> and <textarea> value text.
  • Adds an example covering OpaqueRange in the main document and inside a shadow tree.
