 HTML API: Join successive text nodes in html5lib test representation.

 Many tests from the html5lib test suite fail because of differences in
 text handling between a DOM API and the HTML API, even though the
 semantics of the parse are equivalent. For example, it's possible in
 the HTML API to read multiple successive text nodes when the tokens
 between them are ignored.

 The test suite didn't account for this and so was failing tests. This
 patch improves the construction of the representation to compare
 against the test suite so that those tests don't fail inaccurately.
