[DomCrawler] Fixed filterXPath() chaining loosing the parent DOM nodes

This is a fixed version of #10207, preserving the BC for XPath queries. It is the rebased version of #10935 targetting 2.3

The example given in #10260 when reporting the regression in the previous attempt is covered by the new tests added in the first commit of the PR.
I also added many tests ensuring that the behavior is the same than in the current implementation.
