Sounds good to me. We don't currently rely on ParentStackFrames to get any
semantics right, it is just for performance optimization. You will need to
take care that it is now functional (rebuild as needed) in all cases.

Inroducing root should be ok for fastCheckSelector path too, testing against
root element shouldn't be slower than testing against null.

I was anyway thinking of moving the parent stack to SelectorChecker. With
this it will actually be needed for querySelectorAll.
