document.createTreewalker and document.createNodeIterator have missing signature types that which are supported both in IE, Firefox and Chrome

[mrttrifork]

Introduction

The third parameter filter in both functions needs to be a function in IE as described here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45595349/ie9-ie-10-ie11-createnodeiterator-exception-occurred/45609439#45609439

Both Firefox and Chrome support this version as well as the object {acceptNode: (node: Node) => number} as third parameter.

In IE the fourth parameter entityReferenceExpansion is required.

A previous solution to document.createNodeIterator can be seen here #27393

The described solution is to override Document interface; But TypeScript still complains.

Also NodeIterator.referenceNode is required in lib.dom.d.ts, but in IE it is always undefined

TypeScript Version: 3.6.2

Code that fails

const walker = document.createTreeWalker(
    wrapperElement,
    NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT,
    function filter(node: Node): number {
        return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
    },
    false
);

const nodeIterator = document.createNodeIterator(
    wrapperElement,
    NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT,
    function filter(node: Node): number {
        return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
    },
    false
);

Workaround

const walker = document.createTreeWalker(
    wrapperElement,
    NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT,
    function filter(node: Node): number {
        return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
    } as any,
    false
);

function acceptNode(node: Node): number {
    return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
}
// "strictBindCallApply": false,
const nodeIterator
    = document.createNodeIterator.apply(document, [wrapperElement, NodeFilter.SHOW_ELEMENT, acceptNode, false]) as NodeIterator;

Expected behavior:
lib.dom.d.ts has

createTreeWalker(root: Node, whatToShow: number, filter: (node: Node) => number | null, entityReferenceExpansion: boolean): TreeWalker;
createNodeIterator(root: Node, whatToShow: number, filter: (node: Node) => number | null, entityReferenceExpansion: boolean): NodeIterator;

Actual behavior:
lib.dom.d.ts lacks the function signatures

TypeScript 4.4 has broken our build in regards to document.createTreeWalker

According to microsoft/TypeScript-DOM-lib-generator#1029

NodeFilter has been removed, however this is not the case, and it would probably not make sense to remove it as it is not being deprecated (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NodeFilter). However, changes to document.createTreeWalker are not documented, but has been changed.

The fourth parameter expandEntityReferences in document.createTreeWalker has been removed. Although it is being deprecated (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/createTreeWalker), it is still required in IE11, and support for IE11 ends earliest at June 15, 2022. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/internet-explorer-11-end-of-support), so it would be nice if it still was there until end of life of IE11.
