[whatwg/webidl] Editorial: Refer to ECMA-262 as JavaScript rather than ECMAScript (PR #1379)

This is consistent with how the HTML Living Standard, also a a WHATWG work product, refers to it and is how most developers would be familiar with it.

Included in this change:
* a note about this convention
* renaming various algorithms and sections (and adding aliases for pre-existing IDs)
* renaming variables and other things which refer to ECMAScript in an abbreviation
