Clarify when a parser-inserted element is dropped on the floor

"Insert an element at the adjusted insertion location" previously aborted when
it was "not possible to insert" the element, without defining what that meant.
Replace it with an explicit condition — the adjusted insertion location is in a
Document that already has an element child — mirroring the analogous check in
"insert a character", and assert that the insertion then satisfies the DOM's
"ensure pre-insert validity".

Tests: web-platform-tests/wpt#61396

See #1706.

(See WHATWG Working Mode: Changes for more details.)
