 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61536"
 Build/Test Tools: Ensure `assertEqualHTML()` recognizes whitespace text.

 Ensure whitespace text nodes are correctly represented by
 `build_visual_html_tree()`.

 The `build_visual_html_tree()` function used by `assertEqualHTML()` would
 remove some leading whitespace from text nodes. Some whitespace-only text
 nodes were omitted from the tree.

 Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10765.

 Follow-up to [60295].

 Reviewed by wildworks.
 Merges [61519] to the 6.9 branch.

 Props jonsurrell, dmsnell, bernhard-reiter.
 Fixes #64531.
