Testcase demonstrating the bug

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open the attached testcase webpage in WebKit Nightly.
2. Observe the colors of the outlines of the <input>s.

What is the expected behavior?
The outlines should be green, indicating that the disabled or readonly <input type=number>s did not match the :in-range or :out-of-range CSS pseudo-classes.

What went wrong?
The outlines are orange and red, indicating that the disabled or readonly <input type=number>s matched the :in-range or :out-of-range CSS pseudo-classes.

----

Based on my reading of the HTML spec, :in-range and :out-of-range should never apply to disabled or readonly <input>s.

Per https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#selector-in-range
> The :in-range pseudo-class must match all elements that are **candidates for constraint validation**, have range limitations, and [...]
> The :out-of-range pseudo-class must match all elements that are **candidates for constraint validation**, have range limitations, and  [...]

Per https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#candidate-for-constraint-validation
> A submittable element is a **candidate for constraint validation** except when a condition has **barred the element from constraint validation**.

Per https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#the-readonly-attribute:barred-from-constraint-validation
> If the **readonly** attribute is specified on an input element, the element is **barred from constraint validation**.

Per https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#enabling-and-disabling-form-controls:-the-disabled-attribute:barred-from-constraint-validation
> If an element is **disabled**, it is **barred from constraint validation**.

Thus, disabled and readonly <input>s are barred from constraint validation, meaning they are not candidates for constraint validation, thus causing them to be disqualified by the 1st of the 3 conditions which are required for an element to match :in-range or :out-of-range.
