`DOMNode::$childNodes` always contained `DOMNodeList`.
This simplifies the code a bit and will make it slightly easier in case we decide to switch to `foreach` iteration.
This was forgotten in b580cf2.
`DOMNodeList` implements `Traversable`. There are some `for` loops left but we cannot simply replace those: PHP follows the DOM specification, which requires that `NodeList` objects in the DOM are live. As a result, any operation that removes a node list member node from its parent (such as `removeChild`, `replaceChild` or `appendChild`) will cause the next node in the iterator to be skipped. We could work around that by converting those node lists to static arrays using `iterator_to_array` but not sure if it is worth it.

Let’s convert those node lists to arrays to make them static to allow us to use foreach and drop the index decrementing. This will make the code a bit clearer at the cost of slightly more work being performed.
