Only use createElement for HTML.

Fix d3#2737. The previous fix for d3#2722 meant that createElement was used to
create HTML elements in HTML documents, but it also meant it was used to create
SVG elements in SVG documents, which failed: createElement only inherits the
namespace in HTML documents, not in other document types.
