`Event` internally stores the `type` as an `Atom`, and we're `String`s
everywhere, which can cause unnecessary allocations to occur since
they'll end up as `Atom`s anyways.
I'm working on resolving https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/8213 as per the spec online and feedback in the servo channel. Note that currently I cannot build (and thus test) my code, so this is a bit of a rough first draft. I'd still like feedback on my progress, and I hope that there is another way for my code to be tested.

This should make it somewhat easier to experiment with alternative
representations in the future. To reduce churn, this commit leaves the String
field public, though.
Also, this will allow us to use the default String type to represent the IDL
USVString type, which explicitly forbids unpaired surrogates, ans as such is
a better match to the Rust String type.
This trait is used to hold onto the downcast and upcast functions of all
castable IDL interfaces. A castable IDL interface is one which either derives
from or is derived by other interfaces.
The deriving relation is represented by implementations of marker trait
DerivedFrom<T: Castable> generated in InheritTypes.
