Re: [whatwg/dom] Robust events (#1016)

#863 considered `isTrusted` a legacy feature, but yeah, I think there is some value in it for cases like this. I think the correct approach here would be to add a feature that event listeners can filter for this, not to forbid `dispatchEvent()`. The latter seems too drastic and quite a departure from the existing model, whereas the former fits in quite naturally.

As for `new EventTarget()`, perhaps https://blog.domenic.me/the-revealing-constructor-pattern/ would be a way to expose a `dispatchEvent()` that can dispatch trusted `Event` instances. Although really you want the `Event` instance itself to be created or blessed in such a way (so `ev.isTrusted` is correct at all times), so this might need some more thought.
