Imperative Shadow DOM Distribution API

Web developers can specify node-to-slot assignments imperatively in Shadow DOM slotting. Please see the spec discussion [1] and the explainer [2]. - [1] https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3534 - [2] https://github.com/w3c/webcomponents/blob/gh-pages/proposals/Imperative-Shadow-DOM-Distribution-API.md

Motivation

Allow node-to-slot assignments without needing to add slot attribute in markup. And enabled dynamic slotting behavior based on input conditions.
