[w3c/payment-request] fix: use InvalidStateError for non-fully-active document checks (PR #1056)

Per TAG Design Principles §3.2.2, InvalidStateError should be used for document state issues, while AbortError is reserved for user-initiated aborts.

See: https://www.w3.org/TR/design-principles/#handle-non-fully-active-documents

The following tasks have been completed:

 * [ ] Modified Web platform tests (link)

Optional, impact on Payment Handler spec?
