[whatwg/dom] Provide an opt-out for inputs overriding form DOM API (#388)

The problem involves how HTML FORM inputs are exposed on the parent `<form>` element. It was originally introduced in the MS Internet Explorer as far back as JavaScript 1.0 and eventually copied by most of browsers. W3C DOM Level 2 spec has addressed this by introducing HTMLFormElement.elements collection. Unfortunately, the old behavior was left intact for backward compatibility.

One quote from this post:
> As a result, the convenience feature introduced in JavaScript™ 16 years ago still bites you like a bug in client-side DOM scripting today.
