Remove outdated Sanitizer API content

[lukewarlow]

Description

Removes content for unshipped and out of date Sanitizer API spec.

Motivation

In their current form these documents are more confusing than helpful, and the API shape has changed a large amount since written. As a result they'd need to be almost fully rewritten anyway.

Flaws are unrelated to this change but happy to fix them.

maybe you should run a shell to delete documentation

the api entry in files/jsondata/GroupData.json also seems to need to remove

While this is true, it is contrary to MDN policy. MDN follows BCD. BCD policy is that if something has been in the web platform, it gets removed after 2 years. Given that Chrome removed this in 119 we're a long way from that.

I don't think we should change our policy for any one case. But since you're right, we should start by making this all as deprecated in BCD.

P.S. Though if there is a replacement API appearing in browsers, then it might be OK to remove much of this.

Okay I'll close this for now then

Thanks @lukewarlow. I've added deprecated to the BCD which should help a bit. Maybe we'll get lucky and be allowed to delete the content some point soon.
