Boris Zbarsky 1fa8ecc716 Bug 1432944 part 2. Make nsIHTMLEditor.getSelectedElement return nsISupports. r=m_kato
The only C++ caller immediately QIs the result anyway, and the exact type
returned doesn't matter for JS callers because the return values are DOM
objects.  This makes it simpler to rejigger the internals to work with nsINode
and Element and whatnot.
