[webidl] Unions involving a primitive and a string don't make any sense

In particular, unions are allowed to contain both a string (or enum) and 
a primitive, but if you try to convert a JS value to such a union the 
string is always picked (http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#es-union 
step 7).  That seems wrong.
