[svgwg] Merged Pull Request: remove instanceRoot / animatedInstanceRoot - fix #852

karlcow has just merged karlcow's pull request 1147 for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== remove instanceRoot / animatedInstanceRoot - fix #852 ==
instanceRoot and animatedInstanceRoot is not implemented in any browsers. This removes it from the spec. It was previously used before shadow tree existed for the <use> element.

Kept: the "instance root" concept term (TermInstanceRoot), still used by 5 autolinks in render.html/struct.html. Verified no orphans

master/struct.html:
  removed the two IDL attribute declarations from SVGUseElement + the prose paragraph describing them
master/changes.html:
  dropped the obsolete "Restore the (animated)instanceRoot" entry; added a cr3 removal entry citing #852
