Summary

The WebGLContextEvent type has been defined in Khronos' WebGL specification for a number of years, but it was not noticed until recently that in Blink, this type is not exposed on web workers. (Most applications simply add an event listener for the type, and do not look for its prototype in the global scope.) This is a simple fix to Blink's Web IDL for WebGLContextEvent, but is a web exposed change.
