[whatwg/dom] Order of "contains" in removeEventListener (#664)

If the context object’s [event listener list](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#eventtarget-event-listener-list) [contains](https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#list-contain) an [event listener](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-event-listener) whose type is *type*, callback is *callback*, and capture is *capture*, then <a href="https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#remove-an-event-listener">remove an event listener</a> with the context object and that event listener.

What happens if there are multiple event listeners in the `EventTarget` object's event listener list that fit those searching criteria (type, callback, capture)? Is the searching process in ascending or descending order? The order is observable through the use of the [`passive`](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-addeventlisteneroptions-passive) and [`once`](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-addeventlisteneroptions-once) options.

Inspired by nodejs/node#21635.
