1611509 - Remove Date support

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Bindings (WebIDL), defect, P2)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

It's been gone from the spec for years. See https://github.com/heycam/webidl/pull/69 and https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22824

The only non-test consumers we have are:

1. HTMLInputElement.valueAsDate. This is defined to return object in the spec now; we can just change to that without too much trouble.
2. DeprecationReportBody.anticipatedRemoval. This doesn't exist in the reporting api draft, as far as I can see; can we just remove it? In any case, https://github.com/w3c/reporting/issues/132 talks about this and ends up with "don't use an ES Date", right?
