Fwd: [Bug 23367] Move exceptions into IDL

Based on this stuff finally happening, I propose that we change our 
definition:

[NoInterfaceObject]
interfaceMediaStreamError  {
     readonly    attributeDOMString   name  <http://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#widl-MediaStreamError-name>;
     readonly    attributeDOMString?  message  <http://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#widl-MediaStreamError-message>;
     readonly    attributeDOMString?  constraintName  <http://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#widl-MediaStreamError-constraintName>;
};


to read

[NoInterfaceObject]
interfaceMediaStreamError  : Error {
     readonly    attributeDOMString?  constraintName  <http://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#widl-MediaStreamError-constraintName>;
};

as soon as the editors can verify that following the "WebIDL" link in 
our spec leads to a document that has incorporated the change quoted below.
(At the moment the link points to the 19 April 2012 Candidate 
Recommendation).

This should lead to no change in actual behaviour of existing JS code, 
unless they inspect the prototype chain of MediaStreamError objects 
(which seems an odd thing for anything but conformance tests to do).

--- Comment #8 from Cameron McCormack <cam@mcc.id.au> ---
I've removed IDL exception definitions, moved DOMException into the spec
(including the table of names and legacy codes), and added types to refer to
them -- Error for any exception type (including the native ECMAScript Error
objects) and DOMException for just DOMExceptions.  I also made
DOMException.[[Prototype]] == Error.prototype.
