Summary Web Inspector: Children of collapsed TreeElements should not be selectable

Summary: Children of collapsed TreeElements should not be selectable. This matches the system behavior (Finder, Xcode). Furthermore, collapsing a TreeElement with selected children should cause its children to be deselected. The motivation behind these changes is to prevent the user from unintentionally modifying hidden TreeElements.

In addition, collapsing the parent of a selected element should cause the element to be deselected. This also matches system behavior.

Created attachment 366143 [details] [Image] With patch applied Collapsing the parent of the selected DOM node causes there to be no selection. This is a pretty poor experience, since the navigation path and most of the details sidebar panels disappear.
