Takes error descriptions from the WebDriver standard and uses them
to document error types in Marionette. This will make it possible
to generate an internals list of them.

Marionette is the remote protocol that lets OOP programs communicate
with, instrument, and control Gecko.
Description
Marionette is an automation driver for Mozilla’s Gecko engine.
It can remotely control either the UI or the internal JavaScript of
Gecko-based browsers, such as Firefox and Fennec. It can control
both the chrome and the content document, giving a high level of
control and ability to replicate user interaction. In addition
to performing actions on the browser, Marionette can also ready
properties and attributes of the DOM.
Usage
Marionette can be activated by passing the -marionette flag.
To start Firefox with the remote protocol turned on:
% firefox -marionette

This binds to a TCP socket, over which clients can communicate
with Marionette using the protocol.
Clients
Clients may be implemented in any language that is capable of writing
and receiving data over TCP socket. A reference client is provided.
Clients may be implemented both synchronously and asynchronously,
although the latter is impossible in protocol levels 2 and earlier
due to the lack of message sequencing.
