[inert] Set user-select:text on modal dialogs and fullscreen elements

Modal dialogs and fullscreen elements mark all elements outside of them as inert. That makes them have a used value of "user-select: none". But modal dialogs and fullscreen elements are not inert, so by default they got "user-select: auto". This resolves to "none" since the used value on the parent element is "none". So modal dialogs and fullscreen elements were not selectable. This patch addresses the problem by setting "user-select: text" on UA origin. There is a somewhat similar precedent where the CSSWG resolved to set "visibility: visible" on modal dialogs: w3c/csswg-drafts#6939 (comment) Bug: 1305797 TEST=external/wpt/html/semantics/interactive-elements/the-dialog-element/modal-dialog-selection.html Change-Id: I6fb00c25559dfefcf931be535ddf4128864c71ae Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3521788 Reviewed-by: Rune Lillesveen <futhark@chromium.org> Commit-Queue: Oriol Brufau <obrufau@igalia.com> Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/main@{#981078}
