`screen` incompatible with document.body.replaceWith() about dom-testing-library

[MatanBobi]

I'm hesitating whether this is a valid use case we should be supporting. What are the use cases to actually replace the entire body of the document? This isn't something done as part of frameworks and since there's a workaround to this, I'm not sure we should be providing a solution as part of our code.

I was able to get this to work in #1311.

But right now the types are failing and I'm uncertain how to resolve them.

I'll copy the rationale here which I feel better explains my use case:

---

My integration testing environment strives to creates testing scenarios
that are as realistic to production as possible. This aligns with the
library's guiding principles:

We try to only expose methods and utilities that encourage you to
write tests that closely resemble how your web pages are used.

To assist with this, parts of my integration testing environment involve
a 2-step process:

1. Run a command to dump the HTML documents rendered by the backend.
2. Load those dumps into a Jest test environment to assert JavaScript
   behavior.

Loading the HTML document in Jest is a challenge as the global HTML
document is setup by jest-environment-jsdom ahead of the test running.
To make this work well, the environment "replaces" the jsdom HTML
document like:

const content = loadHTML(...);
const tmpDom = new jsdom.JSDOM(content);
const tmpDocument = tmpDom.window.document;
// Replace the global document with the one from the backend.
document.documentElement.replaceWith(document.adoptNode(tmpDocument.documentElement));

This works out great in practice for me. The JavaScript is tested
against real HTML documents rather than fabricated ones for the test. In
the event that the backend changes how elements are rendered that, the
integration tests will expose this and force a fix to make the two
compatible.
