Pranav Joglekar d947d8c975 fix: add test to ensure the innerText of labels doesn't change (#43803)
For the check-radio-buttons-and-checkboxes-by-default exercise,
campers are able to pass the exercise if the checked attribute is
written in an incorrect syntax. This PR checks the innerText of the
elements which are being added the 'checked' attribute and ensures that
their value doesn't change.
Fixes #43750

# --description--
You can set a checkbox or radio button to be checked by default using the `checked` attribute.
To do this, just add the word `checked` to the inside of an input element. For example:
```html
<input type="radio" name="test-name" checked>
```
# --instructions--
Set the first of your radio buttons and the first of your checkboxes to both be checked by default.
# --hints--
Your first radio button on your form should be checked by default.
```js
assert($('input[type="radio"]').prop('checked'));
```
Your first checkbox on your form should be checked by default.
```js
assert($('input[type="checkbox"]').prop('checked'));
```
You should not change the inner text of the `Indoor` label.
```js
assert.equal(document.querySelector('label[for="indoor"]')?.innerText?.trim(), 'Indoor');
```
You should not change the inner text of the `Loving` label.
```js
assert.equal(document.querySelector('label[for="loving"]')?.innerText?.trim(), 'Loving');
```
