I changed HTMLCanvasElement.getContext to follow the pattern set by OffscreenCanvas where the context ID is a string union so we get autocompletion for it in IDEs using LSP.

In the other direction, I changed OffscreenCanvas.getContext to follow HTMLCanvasElement's pattern with overloads for the individual context IDs as literal string parameters and return types being the specific types of context corresponding to that context ID.

I have also added OffscreenCanvas.convertToBlob which was missing altogether: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/OffscreenCanvas/convertToBlob

Fixes #52831
