Interactivity API: Allow missing state negation on server

Aligns on the behavior of the negation operator with directives to missing paths in client and in server.

With a directive like the following:
{{{
<div data-wp-bind--hidden="!state.missing.property">
	This should be hidden by the <code>hidden</code> attribute.
</div>
}}}
Both server and client will return with this fix:
{{{
<div data-wp-bind--hidden="!state.missing.property" hidden="">
	This should be hidden by the <code>hidden</code> attribute.
</div>
}}}

Merges [59398] to the 6.7 branch.

Props jonsurrell, luisherranz.
