Refactor some uses of the jQuery parents function to use vanillaJS

I'm pretty sure the issue title doesn't mean „replace uses of the jQuery parents function with another jQuery function“ – these issues are targeted to replace jQuery with vanillaJS.

Yes got it. I have used closest() with the intention that it works without jquery.

Sorry about the noise than and apologies – I wasn't aware that this method exists in vanillaJs with identical functionality than the one in jQuery.

@ahsannazir, The target branch should be 11.x.

Left some small comments.

Will want sub maintainer sign off before merging.

If we need a 10/20 lines method to replace a jquery call, it's not worth the effort. Let's keep them, and add an eslint ignore.

Actually we might be able to replicate the parents() functionality with css :has() in some cases:

document.querySelectorAll('*:has(#edit-description)'); would give all the parents of #edit-description

Feedback appears to be addressed

@nod_ can we remove the submaintainer tag?

Pushed up a super nitpicky change to remove a space.

There are 4 exceptions and 3 legitimate replacements so let's not call this removing the use of parents.

I'll take the 3 replacements but let's keep the jquery rule as-is and remove the eslint ignore comments

Thanks! a few tiny changes and we should be good to go :)

I want to see what testbot says about a change in ajax.js

Going to lean on @nod_ numerous reviews on this one. Tried to fix an out of scope change for removing a space that's what that commit was.

Retitle for commit, opened 📌 Refactor (if feasible) uses of the jQuery parents function to use vanillaJS Active to address the other uses of parents and change the eslint config
