What happened?

A recent change (ea3f50b) to the element.isDisplayed() to utilise the browser's checkVisibility() method introduced a regression. Now this method returns false when targeting elements with CSS display: contents.

What is your expected behavior?

I think the element.isDisplayed() should actually return true in such cases provided the actual contents of the target element are displayed. If not possible, then at least the documentation page should be updated accordingly: https://webdriver.io/docs/api/element/isDisplayed.

How to reproduce the bug.

To reproduce a bug, run the element.isVisibility() on an element with CSS display: contents that includes another element with the actually visible content.

Relevant log output

The logs are application specific as there is no exception thrown by the WebdriverIO - it is only that the result of the element.isDisplayed() is now different.
