Write a variadic function `ElementsByTagName` that, given an HTML node tree
and zero or more names, returns all the elements that match one of those names.

Here are two example calls:
[source,go]
----
func ElementsByTagName(doc *html.Node, name ...string) []*html.Node

images := ElementsByTagName(doc, "img")
headings := ElementsByTagName(doc, "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4")
----

== Test

We build a map with the count of each node we expect to find in the result from `ElementsByTagName`.
We then use `reflect.DeepEqual` to compare the counts of all elements in the result set with
each test's expectations.

This strategy validates that `ElementsByTagName` does not return nodes that we didn't ask for,
and does not return elements we did ask for but are not in the document.

== `forEachNode`

We use `forEachNode` from exercise 5.13, and an anonymous function, to implement `ElementsByTagName`.
