Resolve highlight custom properties from the root

It was resolved in w3c/csswg-drafts#6641 that CSS Highlight Pseudos should inherit custom properties from the root element if those properties are not defined in the highlight inheritance path. Implement that by checking the root element when a custom variable for the highlight is not found. Bug: 1412395 Change-Id: I88c22cea6a9eb5f465a5c0dd97444b39b07368a2
