[heycam/webidl] Limit the special case in the [[Set]] algorithm to [OverrideBuiltins] interfaces (#715)

This is the case where it makes most sense, since the prototype chain can't
shadow any properties.

This change does not affect normal usage; it is only detectable by messing with
the prototype of the object.

The majority of implementations (Gecko and Chrome) already follow the proposed
change; WebKit follows the existing spec.

Fixes #630.
