Mark all features from DNT spec deprecated
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ spec never made it to W3C
Recommendation; instead it was retired as a W3C Working Group Note:

https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/NOTE-tracking-dnt-20190117/

In the W3C spec database its formal status is Retired:

https://www.w3.org/TR/?tag=privacy&status=ret

And the Status section of https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ itself says:

> Since its last publication as a Candidate Recommendation, there has
> not been sufficient deployment of these extensions (as defined) to
> justify further advancement, nor have there been indications of planned
> support among user agents, third parties, and the ecosystem at large.

All of that is sufficient to merit the features being marked as
deprecated in BCD.

So this change adds a Deprecated banner to the following articles:

* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/DNT
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Tk
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/doNotTrack
