Fix and incumbent settings object definition and add examples
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As discussed in #473, starting especially from around
#473 (comment), the
definition of incumbent introduced in #401 falls down in certain
important cases. In order to fix this, we introduce several new
concepts, which takes care of these trickier examples. These examples
are now included in the spec, and spell out exactly how exactly
incumbent settings object calculation works in increasingly-complex
scenarios.

The new algorithms "prepare to run a callback" and "clean up after
running a callback" will be used by Web IDL, similarly to how it already
uses "prepare to run script" and "clean up after running script."

Another notable change is that EnqueueJob now correctly tracks the
necessary goings-on in order to make the incumbent settings object work
correctly when promises are used to schedule callbacks.
