fix(cdk/testing): protractor element not extracting hidden text (#21540)

We use Protractor's `getText` method to extract text, but the problem is that it's likely based
on `HTMLElement.innerText` which excludes text from hidden elements.

These changes switch to using `textContent` to bring the behavior in-line with the `UnitTestElement`.

(cherry picked from commit 26366e7)
