Remove document.createTouch

The document.createTouch() method is being removed because the Touch() constructor has been supported since Chrome 48. This follows a long-standing trend in JavaScript APIs of moving away from factory functions and toward constructors. The closely-related document.createTouchList() method is expected to be removed in Chrome 69.

Remove Document.selectedStylesheetSet and Document.preferredStylesheetSet

The Document.selectedStylesheetSet and Document.preferredStylesheetSet attributes are removed because they are non-standard and only implemented by Chrome and WebKit. The standard versions of these attributes were removed from the spec in 2016.

Document.styleSheets provides some of the same functionality, thought not all. Fortunately the risk to websites is low as the use of these items appears to be in single digits. (See the Intent to Remove for exact numbers.)

WEBGL_compressed_texture_atc

Previously, Chrome provided the AMD_compressed_ATC_texture_atc formats. These formats were widely supported at the time the extension was created. Hardware support has since dwindled to near-zero, with implementation currently possible only on Qualcomm devices. This extension has been rejected by the WebGL Working Group and support for it is now removed from Chrome.
