MDN compatibility tables

Editing old MDN compatibility tables

Problems with static tables ● No mass-editing and adding ● No central data store for internal/external re-use (and DRYing) ● No validation of data points (browser versions, ...) ● No pull requests or similiar to discuss changes first ● No automation ● Limited shared responsibilty from browser vendors to look after their data
