The `ViewportScroller` figures out which element to scroll into view using `document.getElementById`. The problem is that it won't find elements inside the shadow DOM.
These changes add some extra logic that goes through all the shadow roots to look for the element.
Fixes#41470.

This commit fixes a regression from "fix(common): ensure
scrollRestoration is writable (#30630)" that caused scrolling to not
happen at all in browsers that do not support scroll restoration. The
issue was that `supportScrollRestoration` was updated to return `false`
if a browser did not have a writable `scrollRestoration`. However, the
previous behavior was that the function would return `true` if
`window.scrollTo` was defined. Every scrolling function in the
`ViewportScroller` used `supportScrollRestoration` and, with the update
in bb88c9fa3daac80086efbda951d81c159e3840f4, no scrolling would be
performed if a browser did not have writable `scrollRestoration` but
_did_ have `window.scrollTo`.
Note, that this failure was detected in the saucelabs tests. IE does not
support scroll restoration so IE tests were failing.

This commit uses getElementById and getElementsByName when an anchor scroll happens,
to avoid escaping the anchor and wrapping the code in a try/catch block.

Some specialised browsers that do not support scroll restoration
(e.g. some web crawlers) do not allow `scrollRestoration` to be
writable.
We already sniff the browser to see if it has the `window.scrollTo`
method, so now we also check whether `window.history.scrollRestoration`
is writable too.

When an anchor scroll happens, we run document.querySelector. This value can be taken directly from the user. Therefore it's possible to throw an error on scrolling, which can cause the application to fail.
This PR escapes the selector before using it.
