Unify dart:html.{Rect,ClientRect,SVGRect}

dart:html has three different interfaces to represent a Rectangle:

Rect
ClientRect
SVGRect

These ought to be unified into a single interface. The dart style guide recommends not to use abbreviations, so ideally it would be named 'Rectangle' instead of just 'Rect'.

There is no field common to all three types.
ClientRect has 6 fields.
Rect has a subset, but they are CSSPrimitiveValues, not num-bers.
These types come from deep inside WekKit, so unifying them would require code to translate to and from the underlying representation.

I'm supportive of the general idea so we will revisit after M1 but I think it will turn out that these types are too different to unify.

In https://codereview.chromium.org//25808002 we moved Rectangle over to dart:math, and Client rect is merged with regular rect. SVG could probably be merged, but I'm postponing that part until a later milestone.
