Viktor 9b93853278 [DOM] Fix Fragment compareDocumentPosition for the root container (#37613)
## Summary

`FragmentInstance.compareDocumentPosition()` returns
`DOCUMENT_POSITION_IMPLEMENTATION_SPECIFIC` instead of `CONTAINS |
PRECEDING` for the container passed to `createRoot()`, and for any
element between that container and `document.body`:

```js
const container = document.getElementById('root');
createRoot(container).render(<div><Fragment ref={ref}><div /></Fragment></div>);

ref.current.compareDocumentPosition(document.body); // contains
ref.current.compareDocumentPosition(container);     // implementationSpecific
```

The `CONTAINS` fiber validation enumerates the nodes that have no fiber
as `document`, `documentElement` and `body`. That list is never
complete: the root container has no fiber either, and neither does any
non-React element above it, so both fall through and are reported as
implementation specific.

This checks that `otherNode` contains the root container instead, which
covers all of those uniformly.

Adjacent to #37579, which fixed a `null` dereference in the same branch.

react-dom

This package serves as the entry point to the DOM and server renderers for React. It is intended to be paired with the generic React package, which is shipped as react to npm.

Installation

npm install react react-dom

Usage

In the browser

import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function App() {
  return <div>Hello World</div>;
}

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<App />);

On the server

import { renderToPipeableStream } from 'react-dom/server';

function App() {
  return <div>Hello World</div>;
}

function handleRequest(res) {
  // ... in your server handler ...
  const stream = renderToPipeableStream(<App />, {
    onShellReady() {
      res.statusCode = 200;
      res.setHeader('Content-type', 'text/html');
      stream.pipe(res);
    },
    // ...
  });
}
