Render style tag content more strictly.

This addresses a vulnerability where policies that allow `<style>`
elements with text in `<option>` elements are vulnerable to XSS as
disclosed in

https://docs.google.com/document/d/11SoX296sMS0XoQiQbpxc5pNxSdbJKDJkm5BDv0zrX50/edit?usp=sharing

This changes behavior for rendering of `<style>` element text so may
change behavior.

Specifically, `<style>` element text that includes the strings `-->`
or `]]>` will no longer sanitize.
