Re: [web-nfc] Error event handling should specific the error code (#549)

In the [scan()](https://w3c.github.io/web-nfc/#the-scan-method) algorithm we reject the promise with a DOMException when the NFC adapter is not accessible (many reasons given).

The reading algorithm is invoked by the scan() algorithm and will use a simple error event for any read error. An app doesn't need to know anything else, since the only way to recover is that the user retries the touch, therefore the app just has to show there was an error. 

We don't have a use case for exposing HW specific error codes to web pages and in general we better avoid it in order to minimize fingerprinting surface.
