[whatwg] Form validation against invisible controls

Please look at the original report and Comment #4.  It is not an auto-fill
issue.
Comment #2 is an auto-fill bug and it was moved to another bug entry.

Regardless of the auto-fill bug, we still have compatibility issues and we
can't force authors to update their web pages.  I'm wondering UA should
show a dialog with "The web page has invisible invalid form fields.  Do you
want to submit the form? [Yes] [No]".
