Don't try to use the uninitialized temp value while default-constructing a dictionary with a required member

Details | Diff | Splinter Review 
The Init() method generated for WebIDL dictionaries creates a variable 'temp' of type 'Maybe<JS::Rooted<JS::Value> >'.  If Init() is called with arguments 'cx' and 'val' both null (in their respective senses), then temp is never initialized before it is used, in a call to ConvertJSValueToString().  This results in hitting a MOZ_ASSERT in Maybe<T>::ref().

An example of a generated ctor and Init() method is attached.  The 'temp' variable is created on line 29, and used in the 'temp.ref()' call in line 44.
