fix(viewport-ruler): incorrectly caching viewport size (#7951)

* Currently the `ViewportRuler` caches the `ClientRect` of the `document.documentElement` which is only used for determining the scroll position and is being updated on demand anyway. These changes switch to caching the `innerWidth` and `innerHeight` which was the original intent.
* Adds a `getViewportSize` method that returns the cached viewport width and height. The reasoning is that for all of the cases where we were using `getViewportRect`, we were only taking the `width` and `height`. `getViewportSize` helps us avoid the overhead from determining the `top`, `bottom`, `left` and `right` via the scroll position.
