Make dom.URL.searchParams readonly (val)

[raquo]

URL.searchParams is a readonly field. The URLSearchParams object itself is mutable, but the reference is immutable and stable.

https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-url-searchparams
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/searchParams

Note – in JS strict mode (typical for JS bundlers), const url = new URL('http://localhost/').searchParams = new URLSearchParams({foo: "123"}) throws a TypeError saying that searchParams is a readonly field, but in the browser dev console, such an assignment will fail silently instead. You can check that the assignment failed by printing url.searchParams.size == 0 or comparing the new and old references.

My testing and reading of the spec seems to confirm that it should be a val, not a def, at least I couldn't find anything contradicting that.
