[whatwg] Fallback behavior

[timeless]

Technically there was a time/way to tell gecko not to support frames.
There was a time when i played w/ that support while we were
spidering. Browser.frames.enabled / default / boolean / true.

It seems to work as of a nightly from aug 13 (iirc it requires a
restart. I'd suggest using a distinct profile). I think i remember
hitting the script issue in testing, but as it wasn't a primary task
we didn't push to fix it. It should be fixed, but i'd understand
someone asking for tests....
