Re: [deviceorientation] Remove the oncompassneedscalibration event (#107)

[`ondeviceorientationabsolute`](https://www.w3.org/TR/orientation-event/#deviceorientationabsolute) is at least supported by Chromium-based browsers. According to our metrics usage is significantly lower than [`ondeviceorientation`](https://www.w3.org/TR/orientation-event/#deviceorientation) however as long as these APIs are used passively (without the site requesting permission) I don't trust these metrics to reflect how critical the API is to site functionality. Once we complete work on [Chromium issue 947112](https://crbug.com/947112) and have the ability to measure how often this feature is used with explicit user consent we will be able to make a more informed decision about whether the "absolute" version of these sensor events is important to developers.
