[Bug 12949] click() shouldn't have special powers over dispatching click event manually

I really don't think that dispatching an event manually should trigger default
handling. For the vast majority of events that doesn't make any sense (onload
for example) and for many others it doesn't work (onmousemove doesn't trigger
:hover).

So we should really try to get rid of this broken behavior from gecko. Of
course, if that ends up breaking too many sites we'll have to reevaluate, but
we should at least try.
