initEvent methods missing in 3.x

[ProdigySim]

The event creation helpers, such as "initMouseEvent" and "initEvent" are missing in 3.x. While these APIs might be deprecated, they're needed for backwards compatibility with older browsers.

You can find their specification here.
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html

The standard pattern is

var myEvent = document.createEvent('MyEventType');
myEvent.initEvent(...);
document.dispatchEvent(myEvent);

So ideally the parameter and return types of those methods should match up in a reasonable way.

I would suggest to create another assembly that would contain compatibility code and deprecated members. (Or maybe to create a compatibility fork.)

I thought these method only worked in a few versions of Firefox, which was the impression I got from MDN (never used them myself), but apparently that was wrong. I re-added them.
