fix: handle null/undefined Text children without crashing yoga

Guard flattenLeaves and renderTextWithInlineStyles to skip comment
nodes (produced by Vue for null/undefined children) and return empty
strings for childless text nodes. Also guard bindTextMeasure to return
zero dimensions for empty text. Expand TuiInlineNode to include
TuiComment since Vue inserts comments into text containers.
