Bug 1892589 - Custom Highlight API: Implemented speedup for `Highligh…

…t::Add()`. r=edgar,dom-core

To preserve uniqueness in the mirrored data structure for the JS-setlike object,
`nsTArray::Contains()` was used. This showed up in profiles due to its `O(n)` time complexity.
Performance could be improved by replacing it with `SetlikeHelpers::Has()`, which uses the more efficient version of the underlying data structure of the setlike.

The same idea has been applied to `HighlightRegistry`, which uses a maplike. However, this is mostly for consistency, since `Highlight::Add()` will likely be called more often and hence the bigger performance bottleneck.
