Drop obsolete HTMLDocument.width / height attributes.

Firefox and Chrome already no longer expose these.

When did they drop these attributes?  It seems a bit risky to drop these.  Do you have any idea how frequently this API is used?

[Chris Dumez]

Chrome dropped them a long time ago:

    Remove HTMLDocument.width and height properties
    
    No other rendering engine except WebKit supports these now, and they only
    support it apparently for content in WebView.

Firefox dropped it in Gecko 6.0.

I really don't think it is that risky. We also have time still to see if there is any breakage from this.

We should check the app discussed in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80494 is broken again or not.  It seems like this change was quite risky as I had initially suspected.
