[whatwg/webidl] Throw, instead of assert, for transferring detached ArrayBuffers (PR #1420)

This makes the algorithm more user-friendly, as this is generally the desired behavior, and the algorithm can already throw for other reasons so callers are expected to handle that.

/cc @inexorabletash as this was inspired by your work in https://github.com/whatwg/webidl/pull/1419.

I audited [the callers](https://dontcallmedom.github.io/webdex/t.html#transfer%40%40ArrayBuffer%40dfn) and they are all fine with this. (Most are just referencing the concept of transferring, as these definitions are not yet widely used.)
