Add support for passive event listeners

Blink has [shipped](https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5718574840676352) support for [EventListenerOptions](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dictdef-eventlisteneroptions) and we expect to soon [ship](https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5745543795965952) support for the [passive option](https://github.com/RByers/EventListenerOptions/blob/gh-pages/explainer.md). Ideally jquery users would be able to mark event listeners as passive, so they can get the same performance benefits. Also @scottgonzalez mentions it would be good for jquery to polyfill the capturing API as well. Thoughts? Feel free to file any issues / questions with the spec [here](https://github.com/RByers/EventListenerOptions/issues).
