fix: allow `:global(..)` in compound selectors (#10266)

Someone could programmatically add a class to an element and Svelte doesn't see it, so having global be part of a modifier is necessary so that Svelte doesn't mark it as unused

 ### Stricter CSS `:global` selector validation
 
-Previously, a selector like `.foo :global(bar).baz` was valid. In Svelte 5, this is a validation error instead. The reason is that in this selector the resulting CSS would be equivalent to one without `:global` - in other words, `:global` is ignored in this case.
