[w3c/browser-payment-api] Normative References (#227)

The spec currently has normative references to two W3C specifications that are not under our control and may not be mature when we want to proceed down the Recommendation track.

[POWERFUL-FEATURES] is a reference to the Secure Contexts spec.  I have no concerns about our requiring secure contexts, but we should not have a normative reference to this spec unless we are certain it will be mature.  An informative reference may be sufficient.

[WEBIDL]  First we are referring to WebIDL level 1... there are features in level 2 that are pretty interesting, but level 2 is far behind on the W3C Rec Track.  In any case, we should be certain we are not using any level 2 features.  Also, we should be using their recommended text about IDL Fragment Definitions as defined in https://www.w3.org/TR/WebIDL-1/#referencing . Finally, we should be sure that WEBIDL is on pace to be at least a PR when we proceed to Rec or we will potentially be delayed waiting for that spec to mature.
