[whatwg] Apply script.defer to internal scripts

It is possible to place the script before </body> but having all scripts
within the head is more consistent, logical, better style, whatever.  Except
for the reasons of coding style and clarity, having the script in the head
prevents it from sneaking into the content displayed because the head
element is not rendered.
Weigh these arguments against the advantage of restricting deferred scripts
to external scripts, which is, IMHO, null.

Sorry, immediately before </body>.
