Re: [whatwg/dom] "create an event" doesn't work for certain UI events (#414)

I guess the main idea is to make https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/commit-snapshots/26cfadd185649915bb73d147c8a7a41335cb7ab0/#constructing-events work for UI events too. We should be able to do so in a way that calls out to UI events so you can maintain the steps there, mostly.

So concretely I think the best thing would be to add to UI events an algorithm "initialize a mouse or keyboard event from a initialization dictionary" (better name welcome) which takes an event and a dictionary.

Then DOM's constructor algorithm can branch and perform the current step 4 only for non-mouse/keyboard events, calling out to UI event's "initialize a mouse or keyboard event from a initialization dictionary" for those cases. The same for DOM's "create an event" algorithm step 4.

How does that sound?
