[sensors] Should we use OnErrorEventHandler error handler instead of EventHandler?

alexshalamov has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/sensors:

== Should we use OnErrorEventHandler error handler instead of 
EventHandler? ==
The HTML5 specification defines 
[OnErrorEventHandler](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#onerroreventhandler)
 that can be used instead of custom “EventHandler onerror”.

The error [event handler processing 
algorithm](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#the-event-handler-processing-algorithm),
 [error 
event](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#errorevent)
 and 
[OnErrorEventHandler](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#onerroreventhandler)
 interface can be simply reused instead defining custom error handling
 functionality.

Modified version of the IDL for the current Generic Sensor API would 
look like:
```
interface Sensor : EventTarget {
  readonly attribute SensorState state;
  readonly attribute SensorReading? reading;
  void start();
  void stop();
  attribute EventHandler onchange;
  attribute EventHandler onstatechange;
  attribute OnErrorEventHandler onerror;
};

dictionary SensorOptions {
  double? frequency;
};

enum SensorState {
  "idle",
  "activating",
  "active",
  "errored"
};

interface SensorReading {
  readonly attribute DOMHighResTimeStamp timeStamp;
};

[Constructor(DOMString type, SensorReadingEventInit eventInitDict)]
interface SensorReadingEvent : Event {
  readonly attribute SensorReading reading;
};

dictionary SensorReadingEventInit : EventInit {
  SensorReading reading;
};
```
