dmsnell b342d5c7b8 HTML API: Join text nodes on invalid-tag-name boundaries.
A fix was introduced to the Tag Processor to ensure that contiguous text
in an HTML document emerges as a single text node spanning the full
sequence. Unfortunately, that patch was marginally over-zealous in
checking if a "<" started a syntax token or not. It used the following:

{{{
<?php
if ( 'A' <= $c && 'z' >= $c ) { ... }
}}}

This was based on the assumption that the A-Z and a-z letters are
contiguous in the ASCII range; they aren't, and there's a gap of
several characters in between. The result of this is that in some
cases the parser created a text boundary when it didn't need to.
Text boundaries can be surprising and can be created when reaching
invalid syntax, HTML comments, and more hidden elements, so
semantically this wasn't a major bug, but it was an aesthetic
challenge.

In this patch the check is properly compared for both upper- and
lower-case variants that could potentially form tag names.

{{{
<?php
if ( ( 'A' <= $c && 'Z' >= $c ) || ( 'a' <= $c && 'z' >= $c ) ) { ... }
}}}

This solves the problem and ensures that contiguous text appears
as a single text node when scanning tokens.
