Expr.relative truncates prematurely

Test case: http://jsfiddle.net/JBBM8/

Because Sizzle.selectors.relative functions "return" only a single match, Sizzle can be trapped into a false negative with respect to preceding parts of the full selector when the relative selector tests against multiple elements (e.g., "~" and "").

I'm pretty sure that fixing this will require changing the Sizzle.selectors.relative Extension API to allow "returning" arrays, so I will hold off working on this until the core team weighs in with their comments/approval.

Technical explanation: Given a query like "A + B ~ C", Sizzle:

1. Gets a set of all C, then
2. Uses Sizzle.selectors.relative["~"] to replace each element with the first preceding sibling element matching B (or false if nonexistent), then
3. Uses Sizzle.selectors.relative["+"] to replace each element with the preceding sibling element if it matches A (or false if it doesn't), then
4. Returns all elements from the set at step 1 that stayed non-false through all subsequent steps

The problem here is that step 2 fails to report back all preceding siblings matching B, erroneously restricting the input set for subsequent step 3.
