Details
As a preparation for bug 1866643, it's better dynamically generating CommonPropertyNames.h from more structured, easy-to-ready, and easy-to-maintain data source.
the header can be generated during build, with python script.
while working on this, I've found multiple obsolete entries in CommonPropertyNames.h,
which is hard to notice because of the current style that all items are put into single sorted list.
it's better storing the information for each prototype or feature, and generate a list from it.
we could also look into Symbols and ProtoKeys at the same time.

here's prototype that uses python's dictionary as a data source

We could use WebIDL as a data source, that will also make it possible to auto-generate the boilerplate for the built-ins.
