[heycam/webidl] Order of includes statements is not a well-defined concept (#473)

But "order of appearance of includes statements" is not really defined, since they can appear in multiple specifications.

As a data point, what Gecko does in practice right now (pre-mixin, in the "implements" and consequential interface world), is to sort the consequential interfaces by name, then include their members in that order.
