Re: [w3c/manifest] Use WebIDL to describe the manifest data structure (#611)

I added a new attempt to fix this in #753 (This is the "low tech" approach of just adding some fairly non-formal language around behaving differently in manifest parsing than the normal WebIDL spec allows).

I'm less in favour of this than #750 (which would require upstream changes to WebIDL). Because if we did heycam/webidl#597 + #750, then we implementations could easily follow along with these changes and the manifest parser implementations could literally use the IDL parser. With #753, I think it specifies what we want, but it's impractical to implement it without changing the implementation's WebIDL parser.

(Of course, there are other discussions about reverting the use of WebIDL altogether, but in my opinion, I would rather keep it.)
