perf(treesitter): use child_containing_descendant() in is_ancestor()

**Problem:** `is_ancestor()` uses a slow, bottom-up parent lookup which
has performance pitfalls detailed in #28512.

**Solution:** Take `is_ancestor()` from $O(n^2)$ to $O(n)$ by
incorporating the use of the `child_containing_descendant()` function
