           Summary: Rename ParentNode to ContainerNode or some other
                    unambiguous name

The name ParentNode is exceedingly confusing because we already have
parentNode() on Node.  Talking about the parentNode() of ParentNode, for
example, will be very confusing.

In WebKit/Blink, we use call it ContainerNode since it's a node that could
contain other nodes.

I'm open to other names but please disambiguate from other DOM class and method
names.
