Adds a readonly content attribute to fieldset that propagates read-only state to descendant form controls that support it, mirroring how the existing disabled attribute works. Affected descendants are input elements in states that support readonly, textarea elements, and form-associated custom elements. Controls for which readonly is not meaningful (checkbox, radio, button, select) are unaffected, as is anything inside the first legend child. Introduces concept-fe-readonly parallel to concept-fe-disabled, and formReadonlyCallback on form-associated custom elements parallel to formDisabledCallback. Closes whatwg#10293
