feat(expect): toContainText(array) (#9160)

This matches when each expected item from the array
is matched to one of the resolved elements, in order.
Note this performs both "sub-array" and "substring" matching.

Drive-by: documentation fixes.
Drive-by: added "selector resolved to 3 elements" log line
when expecting arrays.
