This is just adding (require 'text-property-search) and removing a stale
comment.  The only unrelated change is the lexicographic reordering.

This is not an unrelated change; I'm changing the condition from:

  (and shr-target-id
       (equal (dom-attr dom 'name) shr-target-id))

to:

  (or (dom-attr dom 'id)
      (dom-attr dom 'name))

and storing the result of the condition for later reuse.  The key thing
to note is that the 'name' attribute is obsolete in HTML5 and the 'id'
attribute is recommended instead, which is why I'm checking both.

Though, now that I think about it again, we could avoid checking the
'id' attribute in both shr-tag-a and shr-descend by instead writing:

  (when-let* ((id (unless (dom-attr dom 'id) ; Handled by `shr-descend'.
                    (dom-attr dom 'name))))  ; Obsolete since HTML5.

Sorry, I didn't imagine a patch touching 20-odd lines would be
problematic.  Here's the updated patch in as minimal a form as possible:

Subject: [PATCH] Propertize all shr fragment IDs as shr-target-id

* lisp/net/shr.el (shr-descend, shr-tag-a): Display dummy anchor
characters as the empty string.  Give all relevant 'id' or 'name'
fragment identifier attributes the shr-target-id text property.
This ensures that cached content, such as tables, retains the
property across renders.  (Bug#40532)

* lisp/net/eww.el (eww-display-html): Adapt shr-target-id property
search accordingly.
