add changed value to mutation record

[andreasplesch]

https://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#interface-mutationrecord

A sequence of mutations observed and recorded by a mutation observer may involve the same attribute twice. Say a timer element is observed and suffers this sequence:

timer.setAttribute('enabled', false);
timer.setAttribute('cycleInterval', 10);    
timer.setAttribute('enabled', true);

The callback of the mutation observer then is invoked after the 'enabled' attribute is reset to true, and the sequence of mutations passed to the callback includes all three changes. Currently, the callback cannot know that the 'enabled' value was set to false after the first change occurred. Information is lost.

As a remedy, the MutationRecord interface could include a
readonly attribute DOMString? value;
attribute which holds the value of the changed attribute at the time when the record was observed. This way the sequence of recorded mutations contains a complete history and no information is lost.

Since enhancement moved to whatwg#376

[andreasplesch]

see whatwg#376 (comment) and response
for reference. Perhaps if there are more and widely applicable use cases there will be more consideration. My use case is very focused.

yes, I also think it could work by using 'oldValue'.

@yongsheng Can this issue be closed then?
