Related to #21796. The dialog focus restoration works by grabbing document.activeElement before the dialog is opened and restoring focus to the element on destroy. This won't work if the element is inside the shadow DOM, because the browser will return the shadow root. These changes add a workaround.

Isn't it possible for the element to be within multiple layers of shadow dom?

It is possible, but my assumption was activeElement would point to the closest shadow root. That being said, I haven't actually tried it. If that's the case, we might need some reusable utility under cdk/platform since we have a lot of places that look only at document.activeElement.

LGTM as a solution for now, then; we can revisit the shadow dom hierarchy if it becomes a problem
