Password fields can be inside a ShadowRoot as well as inside a <form>. In at least some of these situations, when we call LoginFormFactory.createFromField (e.g. from the "DOMInputPasswordAdded" event), we don't currently find the <form>, and formLike.rootElement defaults to the document element, <html>.

This is problematic, because e.g. a page could have multiple forms, and we would not be able to associate the correct form data with any particular form when it is edited and/or submitted (i.e. formLike.rootElement is used to uniquely identify a form to manage document state).

This should be fixed for all of the Shadow DOM cases outlined in the Description of Bug 1629226.
