DomObject::global is a tricky API because it's used pervasively but has subtle requirements that are not documented and not yet enforced by the type system (#36116). The method returns the relevant global object for a given DOM object, but that operation is only meaningful if there is an active realm. We usually, but not always, have an active realm. This change avoids a footgun by following the principle of least surprise. Rather than making every single caller of `something.global()` both prove that there is an active realm and think about which realm they want active, we implement the obvious behaviour: always activate the realm of the callee before obtaining the relevant global. Testing: Existing WPT coverage is sufficient; this method is called all over the codebase. Fixes: #37070 #27037 Signed-off-by: Josh Matthews <josh@joshmatthews.net>
