Webkit returns additional new line character with element.innerText

[teemuteemu]

Describe the bug
When using Get Text keyword using Webkit there's an additional new line character in the returned text. This has been reported to Playwright (microsoft/playwright#7698 and microsoft/playwright#5478) where suggestion is to use element.textContent instead.

If I'm not mistaken Get Text keyword returns element.innerText (

robotframework-browser/node/playwright-wrapper/getters.ts

Line 104 in 6a5116d

return await element.innerText();

). I know this is a Webkit specific issue but I'd be interested to know what is the reason for use of innerText? Element.textContent would fix this (for us) but there's probably a good reason to use innerText?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set HTML content foo
2. ${text} = Get Text id=important
3. On Chromium and Firefox ${text} == "foo"
4. On Webkit ${text} == "foo\n"

Expected behavior
I would expect the text content to be the same on Chromium, Firefox and Webkit.
