update live ranges after CharacterData and DOM mutations

Per DOM spec, all live ranges must have their boundary offsets updated
when CharacterData content changes (insertData, deleteData, replaceData,
splitText) or when nodes are inserted/removed from the tree.

Track live ranges via an intrusive linked list on Page. After each
mutation, iterate and adjust start/end offsets per the spec algorithms.

Also fix Range.deleteContents loop that read _end_offset on each
iteration (now decremented by the range update), and Range.insertNode
that double-incremented _end_offset for non-collapsed ranges.

Route textContent, nodeValue, and data setters through replaceData
so range updates fire consistently.

Fixes 9 WPT test files (all now 100%): Range-mutations-insertData,
deleteData, replaceData, splitText, appendChild, insertBefore,
removeChild, appendData, dataChange (~1330 new passing subtests).
