[IMP] add :text pseudo-class

Coresaas-18.4webbusmailevent_saleim_livechatpoint_of_saleprojectsaletest_base_automationtest_website

This change adds a new exact-match selector option for Hoot tests, making test definitions easier to read and write. It also updates existing tests to use this clearer syntax, improving developer productivity without changing business behavior.

Original PR description

This commit adds the ':text()' pseudo-class to the list of supported
pseudo-classes in Hoot selectors.

Its purpose is the same as ':contains()', with the specificity of being
an *exact* match instead of a *partial* one.

It effectively replaces ':contains(/^<expression>$/)' by
':text(<expression>)', improving the readability and making the
developer experience a bit nicer.

[IMP] add :text pseudo-class

PR #99272

Enterprisesaas-18.4web_gantt

The test suite now uses a newer text-matching method in places where it behaves more predictably than the previous approach. This helps keep automated checks more stable and easier to maintain, without changing product behavior for users.

Original PR description

This commit replaces all found occurrences where ':contains' (with an
exact match regular expression) could be replaced by ':text'.

[IMP] pos_blackbox_be: remove look for update in opening control popup

PR #99271

Enterprisesaas-18.4pos_blackbox_be

The POS no longer checks for blackbox driver updates during session opening. If the drivers are outdated, users will still be warned later when they try to use a blackbox feature, which keeps startup smoother without losing the warning.

Original PR description

When introducing the blackbox queue service, we added a check at the opening of the POS to ensure that the blackbox drivers were up to date. This check is done at the start of session opening. It is now not necessary anymore, if the drivers are not up to date, an error will also be shown to the user when they try to use a blackbox functionality.
