When dir=auto fails to find text with strong directionality (or a <slot>
element) to determine the directionality of the element, it should fall
back to the directionality that it would have inherited from its parent
(or, for <slot>, its shadow host) rather than falling back to ltr.
This requires updating directionality invalidation to account for the
possibility that elements with dir=auto can inherit directionality.
This is based on the proposed behavior described in:
whatwg/html#3699 (comment)
which is in the process of being specified in:
whatwg/html#9554
whatwg/html#9796
This is one of two changes needed to fix the failure of:
external/wpt/html/dom/elements/global-attributes/dir-shadow-41.html
in the still-unlanded WPT PR at
