feat: add placeholderValue to page source tree#1016
Conversation
Moved the logic for constructing attribute blocks into a separate method for clarity and future extensibility. Also replaced direct type checks with a reusable fb_supportsPlaceholder helper on FBXCElementSnapshotWrapper.
… comment - Replaced custom placeholder support check with FBDoesElementSupportInnerText, as introduced in upstream PR - Updated comment for fb_attributeBlockMapForSnapshot to clarify usage context and avoid confusion about method placement

Summary
This PR adds support for the placeholderValue attribute to be included in the response from the
/source(getPageSource) endpoint.Motivation
Previously,
placeholderValuewas only available when requesting attributes for a specific element. However, this attribute is also valuable when analyzing the full accessibility tree returned by/source, particularly for identifying input fields and verifying placeholder text during automated accessibility testing.By including
placeholderValuein the full snapshot, we enable better support for end-to-end validations and tools that rely on the complete accessibility hierarchy.
