Renders the given DOM tree in the specified DOM element.
/**
* Renders the given DOM tree in the specified DOM element.
*
* - Destructure the first argument into type and props, using type to determine if the given element is a text element.
* - Based on the element's type, use either Document.createTextNode() or Document.createElement() to create the DOM element.
* - Use Object.keys() to add attributes to the DOM element and setting event listeners, as necessary.
* - Use recursion to render props.children, if any.
* - Finally, use Node.appendChild() to append the DOM element to the specified container.
