creating a root or hydrating into a root with a Document container could error in surprising ways because the document root element was not removed when clearing the container and then a new html element was attempting to be appended to the document. Browsers do not allow more than one root element and this errored leading to a cascading failure where all content was unmounted from the tree breaking the application.
This change changes the behavior of clearContainer, appendChildToContainer, and removeChildFromContainer
clearContainer on a Document container will now remove all children of the documentElement (usually )
appendChildToContainer on a Document container will now 'adopt' the existing documentElement, transferring all stateNode properties and children over to it rather than dirctly appending the child
removeChildFromContainer on a Document container will now remove all children of the documentElement but leave the documentElement in place
