Attachment: Bug 1640721 - import webidl bindings article from MDN r?padenot

This is a verbatim import from the MDN article on WebIDL Bindings.
Links to DXR have been rewritten to point to searchfox.

marking leave-open, so it won't be marked as resolved once the patch to source docs lands.
I will need to find remove the MDN article in https://github.com/mdn/archived-content and modify existing links to point to source docs.
This Pull Request looks like a good example to adapt.

The leave-open keyword is there and there is no activity for 6 months.
:freddy, maybe it's time to close this bug?

Seems reasonable that someone else is taking the time to implement that redirect.

The https://github.com/mdn/archived-content repository is now achieved on github, do we still need to update it? If so, do you have any idea of the processes we should take to update it? Thanks!

The previous page from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/WebIDL_bindings is now throwing a proper 404. Given that nobody bothered to do it in the last 2 years and that a search for "webidl bindings" is yielding the source docs page, I think we can just close this..
