Re: [heycam/webidl] Consider simplifying serializers (#188)

@domenic, re:

Currently the spec converts [serialization types](https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#dfn-serializable-type) to [serialization values](https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#dfn-serialized-value) via the [serialization behavior](https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#dfn-serialization-behavior), then converts those to ES types via the [ES binding](https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#es-serializer). This—I think—explains the above language.

I'm proposing to remove the serialization values altogether and instead simply require that the `toJSON` operations return a serialization type and let the regular bindings do the conversion to ES.
