Subject: Make DomUtils.getVisibleClientRects default to expected behaviour

This requires passing of an extra truthy argument in order to access the
(generally) unexpected behaviour of sometimes returning the rects of
child elements. All locations in the code that *actually* wanted this
behaviour have been updated to continue using it.

Also add a comment about the unexpected behaviour in the function
description.
