Rewrite to use Web IDL, and generally modernize
Normative changes, all stemming from the Web IDL adaptation: * All classes are now exposed globally. Formerly, ReadableStreamDefaultReader, ReadableStreamBYOBReader, ReadableStreamDefaultController, ReadableByteStreamController, WritableStreamDefaultWriter, WritableStreamDefaultController, and TransformStreamDefaultController were not exposed. Closes #586. * All classes now have [Symbol.toStringTag] properties. (At least, pending whatwg/webidl#357 resolution.) Closes #952. * All methods and accesors are now enumerable, per Web IDL defaults, instead of non-enumerable, per ECMAScript defaults. * For the queuing strategy classes, their size and highWaterMark properties are now getters on the prototype, instead of data properties on the prototype and instance (respectively). Closes #1005. Note that the size function is not settable anymore, but highWaterMark has a setter. * Some functions have changed their length property value. * Some exceptions are thrown earlier, at argument-conversion time. Editorial changes: * All APIs are specified to using Web IDL now, instead of using a modified version of the ECMAScript specification conventions. We continue using abstract operations and completion records for now, and we have to drop down to the ECMAScript level in a couple places (notably for dealing with %ObjectPrototype% vs. null-prototype iteration result objects, and transferring array buffers). But overall this removes a lot of type-checking and conversion boilerplate from the specification. * Individual abstract operations, constructors, methods, and properties no longer have their own heading. They are instead lumped together in sections. Closes #885. * The constructors, methods, and properties are now documented in a per-class block, using the usual WHATWG "domintro" style. Closes #907. * Abstract operations are now consistently alphabetized within their section. Closes #684. * By using Bikeshed's <div algorithm> feature, we now get automatic identifier highlighting. Closes #687. * Switched to 100-character line limits, 1-space indents, and omitting end tags, per WHATWG conventions. * Removed usage of emu-algify in favor of using some more of Bikeshed's built-in features, plus manually annotating a few things. * Switched to concise Bikeshed linking syntax, e.g. [=term=] and [$AbstractOp$]. * Eliminated a number of utility abstract operations, especially around calling functions, by better using Web IDL. Other bug fixes: * Web IDL makes constructor behavior clear, so this closes #965.
