[Bug 9895] HTMLImageElement's "complete" attribute definition implies immediate image decoding

Note that Gecko will discard decoded image data to reduce memory usage.  So
even if we waited until decoding completed to fire onload and set .complete to
true, at some later point synchronous decoding might still be required.  I'm
not sure what the issue is with synchronous decoding per se; it's no different
from the spec requiring that the behavior be as if the decoded data is always
kept around, no?  The one question in this bug is how to handle cases when
decoding wouldn't happen at all normally wrt .complete and onload, right?
