These changes ensure that DiscussionTools is independent of DOM
library choice, and will not break if/when Parsoid switches to an
alternate (more standards-compliant) DOM library.
We run `phan` against the Dodo standards-compliant DOM library,
so this ends up flagging uses of non-standard PHP extensions to
the DOM. These will be suppressed for now with a "Nonstandard DOM"
comment that can be grepped for, since they will eventually
will need to be rewritten or worked around.
Most frequent issues:
* Node::nodeValue and Node::textContent and Element::getAttribute()
can return null in a spec-compliant implementation. Add `?? ''` to
make spec-compliant results consistent w/ what PHP returns.
* DOMXPath doesn't accept anything except DOMDocument. These uses
should be replaced with DOMCompat::querySelectorAll() or similar
(which end up using DOMXPath under the covers for DOMDocument any way,
but are implemented more efficiently in a spec-compliant
implementation).
* A couple of times we have code like:
`while ($node->firstChild!==null) { $node = $node->firstChild; }`
and phan's analysis isn't strong enough to determine that $node is still
non-null after the while. This same issue should appear with DOMDocument
but phan doesn't complain for some reason.
One apparently legit issue:
* Node::insertBefore() is once called in a funny way which leans on
the fact that the second option is optional in PHP. This seems to be
a workaround for an ancient PHP bug, and can probably be safely
removed.

For compatibility with Parsoid's document abstraction (Parsoid may
switch to an alternate DOM library in the future), don't explicitly
create a new document object using `new DOMDocument`; instead use
the Parsoid wrapper `DOMCompat::newDocument()`. This ensures that
the Document object created will be compatible with Parsoid.
There are a number of other subtle dependencies on the PHP `dom`
extension in DiscussionTools, like explicit `instanceof` tests; those
will be tweaked in a follow-up patch
(I3c4f41c3819770f85d68157c9f690d650b7266a3) since they do not affect
correctness so long as Parsoid is aliasing Document to a subclass of
the built-in DOMDocument. Similarly, the Phan warnings we suppress
do not cause runtime errors (because of the fixes included in
c5265341afd9efde6b54ba56dc009aab88eff83c) but phan will be happier
once the follow-up patch lands and aligns all the DOM types.
