Re: [whatwg/dom] Undeprecate document.all (Issue #1196)

The [`document.all` attribute](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-document-all) and the [`HTMLAllCollection` interface](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-htmlallcollection-interface) are defined by the HTML spec, not the DOM spec. You will likely find more background and history there.

The `getElementById` method is safer (it will never return an `HTMLCollection` instead of an `Element`), more robust (consider the collisions that occur for ID values such as “__proto__”, “hasOwnProperty”, or even — given its own indexed access logic — “0”), and far less complicated.
