Tests for http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/

<iframe src=http://test.example/ onload=w('pass') onerror=w('fail')></iframe>
<iframe src=http://test:test/ onload=w('pass') onerror=w('fail')></iframe>

Both give pass in Chrome/IE. Only the latter passes in Gecko/Safari.

Gecko bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=929899

It seems error is never dispatching anywhere.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8239.
Check-in comment: Drop the ability to catch 'error' events from <iframe>, since nobody implemented it after 5 years.
