DOM: Observable EventTarget integration 1/N
This CL implements "limited" and "leaky" EventTarget integration with the Observable API. See below for what "limited" and "leaky" mean. Concretely, this involves introducing the `on()` method to the EventTarget interface, so that all EventTargets can return Observables that listen for events. This is the part that really makes Observables a "better addEventListener()". This is the first instance of a natively-constructed Observable, as opposed to a JS-constructed Observable. This means the subscription callback passed to the Observable constructor is not just a JS callback function with user-defined code, but instead is a C++ delegate class, called `SubscribeDelegate` which has its first concrete implementation provided by EventTarget (in event_target.cc). The concrete implementation of this interface that this CL introduces, adds an event listener to the given EventTarget, upon subscription. The events are forwarded to the Subscriber's `next()` method. This is what unlocks more ergonomic event handling with the composable Observable primitive and all of its (coming) operators. 1. The EventTarget integration is considered "limited" because we do not support any of the `AddEventListenerOptions` yet, as of this CL. A subsequent CL will add support for a more restricted version of the `AddEventListenerOptions`, called `ObservableEventListenerOptions`, which does not include a `once` option, or an `AbortSignal`, since Observable operators and subscription is responsible for managing those aspects. Concretely, an `ObservableEventListenerOptions` will resolve to an `AddEventListenerOptionsResolved` accordingly. See: - WICG/observable#66 - WICG/observable#67 - WICG/observable#65 2. The EventTarget integration is considered "leaky" as of this CL, because there is currently no way to remove an event listener added by an EventTarget-vended Observable. This will come in a subsequent CL, which will pass the test that is currently failing in this CL. See WICG/observable#75 for discussion about tying the subscription termination to removing an event listener. From a technical perspective, this is pretty easy — it involves adding an abort algorithm to `Subscriber#signal` (which has already been wired up properly by now!) that removes the given per-Subscription `ObservableEventListener` NativeEventListener from the associated EventTarget. That implementation has already been sketched out in https://crrev.com/c/4262153 and the design doc. It will included in a follow-up CL, to reduce the complexity of this one.
