I somehow missed that a request to add back ArrayBuffer support was
offlist. Since quite a few specifications are using it now and TC 39 has
shown no progress on developing an alternative I was convinced to add it
back in. The responseType value is "arraybuffer". This adds a dependency
to the Typed Array specification developed at Khronos.

I summarized a bit unfairly towards TC 39. The expectation is that TC 39
does not move as fast as Khronos and that therefore ArrayBuffer will
likely stick around. If it turns out it can be replaced XMLHttpRequest
will just follow along of course.
