Re: [whatwg/webidl] Normative: Add DOMException cause (PR #1179)

`DOMException` is not alone. There are other exceptions that build on it, e.g., `RTCError`. Which I suppose raises the question as to what should be done about their constructors.

And I think saying that making `cause` a getter introduces an inconsistency is too broad, as it would also introduce an internal inconsistency for it to not do so.

Also, if we manage to get rid of optional (#905) the natural thing here would be that `cause` is at least `undefined`. I'm not even sure what the current binding layer makes of this with dictionaries. It might well already be `undefined` when missing (or more likely missing when `undefined`).
