Problem: `has-ancestor?` is O(n²) for the depth of the tree since it iterates over each of the node's ancestors (bottom-up), and each ancestor takes O(n) time. This happens because tree-sitter's nodes don't store their parent nodes, and the tree is searched (top-down) each time a new parent is requested. Solution: Make use of new `ts_node_child_containing_descendant()` in tree-sitter v0.22.6 (which is now the minimum required version) to rewrite the `has-ancestor?` predicate in C to become O(n). For a sample file, decreases the time taken by `has-ancestor?` from 360ms to 6ms.
