[w3c/screen-orientation] Add hidden document monitoring in parallel orientation lock steps (PR #272)

The 'apply orientation lock' algorithm monitors if documents stop being fully active during parallel execution, but was missing equivalent monitoring for document visibility state changes.

This creates inconsistency where:
- Common safety checks prevent hidden documents from starting locks
- Parallel steps monitor fully-active state changes
- But parallel steps don't monitor hidden state changes

This fix adds monitoring for documents becoming hidden during parallel orientation lock processing, with consistent AbortError rejection.

Fixes #256

The following tasks have been completed:

 * [ ] Modified Web platform tests (link to pull request)
