Can't annotate https://community.canvaslms.com/ (issue with tsParticles)

[robertknight]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Activate the Hypothesis browser extension on https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Studio-Blog/Connecting-Studio-OAuth-via-Postman/ba-p/259739
2. Select text

Expected: Annotate/Highlight toolbar appears
Actual: Toolbar does not appear. Browser console shows an error:

html.ts:135 Uncaught TypeError: n.setStart is not a function
    at Bn.toRange (text-range.ts:292:11)
    at Bn.trimmedRange (text-range.ts:325:49)
    at Zi.getAnnotatableRange (html.ts:130:24)
    at dr._onSelection (guest.ts:818:48)

On this page the Range global has been overwritten with a different object which doesn't have the expected API. The problem is caused by the script https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tsparticles-confetti@2.9.3/tsparticles.confetti.bundle.min.js. Using Chrome devtools to block this script when the page loads prevents the problem from occurring. The issue also occurs on the home page of the tsParticles library - https://particles.js.org.

I filed an upstream issue to see if the tsParticles library can avoid overwriting the DOM Range object. In the meantime we might need to use some technique other than new Range to construct ranges to prevent this. Enforcing this would require a lint check. We have a similar existing issue with sites that have broken URL polyfills on them.

The issue in tsParticles was fixed upstream in the v3.2.2 release, so this means we just need to deal with sites that still reference older versions. https://community.canvaslms.com for example is loading https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tsparticles-confetti@2.9.3/tsparticles.confetti.bundle.min.js at the time of writing.
