[dom] Having getElementsByTagName match on localName is not "web"-compatible for IE and Firefox (#143)

More precisely, not compatible with people using HP printers.  See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236329#c4 for some details.  Note that we have received multiple independent reports of this problem and we haven't even gotten close to shipping this 

The good news is that the HP code in question will do sane feature detection for non-IE and non-Firefox browsers, so speccing and having WebKit/Blink implement the IE/Firefox behavior seems like it should work OK.  At least as far as these HP printers are concerned...
