Re: [whatwg/dom] Editorial: mark initCustomEvent and createEvent as // historical (#821)

I am wondering what is criteria of marking a method as historical?

Off the top of my head, there are some `document.create*` methods that are now superseded by constructors:

```
createDocumentFragment()
createTextNode()
createComment()
createRange()
```

Also there are mutation methods that now have better alternatives (varargs, clear arguments order and return values):

```
insertBefore()
appendChild()
replaceChild()
removeChild()
```

And we have `item()`, `childElementCount`, `callback interface`s etc.
