Re: ES6 and upgrading custom elements

That section needs to be updated, because the ES6 spec had shifted a little
bit with regard to @@create. Filed
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27769.

Conceptually, when I wrote it I'd imagined that the constructor will be
called only when you explicitly invoke it (new FooElement...). When parsing
or upgrading, the constructor would not be called. The createdCallback will
be invoked in either case.
