EventUtils documentation

EventUtils' methods are available in all browser mochitests on the EventUtils object.

In mochitest-plain and mochitest-chrome, you can load "chrome://mochikit/content/tests/SimpleTest/EventUtils.js" using a regular HTML script tag to gain access to this set of utilities. In this case, all the documented methods here are not on a separate object, but available as global functions.
