The custom highlight API spec [1] currently states that an unstyled
custom highlight should inherit the styles of its originating element.
The Blink implementation follows this.
However, this behavior can lead to some unintuitive results where
unstyled highlights can affect the painting of the originating
element, or paint over other highlights. This issue was pointed out
in [2], and spec changes to fix this are pending editor review.
A goal of these changes are that unstyled custom highlights do not
affect rendering at all.
This change updates the custom highlights implementation to achieve
this by giving them a default 'transparent' foreground and background
color.
Some of our tests were validating the earlier unintuitive behavior
involving overlapping ranges. These are updated, along with the
addition of a new test to validate that a single unstyled highlight
doesn't affect rendering.
