Allow custom properties in highlight pseudos

This is a workaround for the use case of custom properties
defined and used in the same rule for ::selection pseudos.
The use case arises from tooling, particularly Tailwind CSS,
and it caused a stable regression when Highlight Inheritance
was launched.

This change restores the original behavior in that highlight
pseudos can use custom properties defined in the highlight
itself. The custom properties are not inherited through the
highlight inheritance chain, so this change does not result in
confusion about the source of custom properties when Highlight
Inheritance is enabled: the properties still come from the
originating element and then the highlight pseudo itself, never
it's parent highlight.
