Sizzle: Expr.relative truncates prematurely

Description

Work on #10868 revealed this error in oldSizzle: http://jsfiddle.net/JBBM8/

Because Sizzle.selectors.relative functions "return" only a single match, Sizzle can be trapped into a false negative with respect to preceding parts of the full selector when the relative selector tests against multiple elements (e.g., "~" and "").

I'm pretty sure that fixing this will require changing the Sizzle.selectors.relative Extension API to allow "returning" ''arrays'', so I will hold off working on this until the core team weighs in with their comments/approval.

Technical explanation:

Given a query like "A + B ~ C", Sizzle:

1. Gets a set of all C, then

2. Uses Sizzle.selectors.relative["~"] to replace each element with the first preceding sibling element matching B (or false if nonexistent), then

3. Uses Sizzle.selectors.relative["+"] to replace each element with the preceding sibling element if it matches A (or false if it doesn't), then

4. Returns all elements from the set at step 1 that stayed non-false through all subsequent steps

The problem here is that step 2 fails to report back ''all'' preceding siblings matching B, erroneously restricting the input set for subsequent step 3.

Can you coordinate with timmywil on this? He's got #10697. I'll mark this one as a dup but really it seems like this should be filed as a Sizzle bug.

Duplicate of #10697.

Reopening as this was not addressed in the rewrite. Here is another test case that i think is related:

OK, it seems the sibling issues from nwbox are already fixed, so those aren't related. However, there is still an issue with deeper levels. The fiddles are still valid.

A combination combinator fiddle for the masses: http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/WSrGh/. Working on it.
