[w3c/uievents] Remove text selection from the dblclick default action - #328 (PR #329)

Text selection begins on all browsers on the mousedown event (consistent
with OS text selection), allowing extending the selection by continuing
to drag. The dblclick event is too late to prevent text selection, so we
should remove this default action to prevent confusion.

Mousedown already includes text selection as a possible default action
in the note.

Closes #328

The following tasks have been completed:

 * [x] Confirmed there are no ReSpec/BikeShed errors or warnings.
 * [x] Modified Web platform tests: Selection is not a required behavior of mousedown, so it is unclear whether it should be tested.

Implementation commitment:

This is already the current behavior on WebKit, Chromium and Gecko.
