PageTransitionEvent: PageTransitionEvent() constructor

The PageTransitionEvent() constructor creates a new PageTransitionEvent object, that is used by the pageshow or pagehide events, fired at the window object when a page is loaded or unloaded.

Note: A web developer doesn't typically need to call this constructor, as the browser creates these objects itself when firing pageshow or pagehide events.
