If this method was only ever enabled behind a flag, I don't think this
removal requires any API owner approval. Happy removing!

Summary
The scrollPathIntoView method on CanvasRenderingContext2D was
implemented in Chrome behind a flag, but never shipped and never
implemented by any other browsers in the nearly 10 years of its
existence. The WHATWG has agreed to remove the method due to lack
of interest. It has zero usage according to the stats, and MDN
says it is not implemented anywhere. We are removing the method
and associated flag and tests.

Motivation
The scrollPathIntoView method has been in the spec since 2011 and
no browsers have shipped it yet, though there is an experimental
implementation hidden behind a runtime flag in Chromium. There
seems to be no implementer or web developer interest for this
feature: No usage reported in chromestatus No related outstanding
issues in the chromium issue tracker. No activity on the WebKit
issue until it was just closed:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149987 Firefox bug has
been open for 10 years with no activity:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1120401 It was agreed
by WHATWG to remove the method after a suggestion from Justin
Novosad, and there is even a WPT test ensuring it is removed
(https://wpt.fyi/results/html/canvas/historical.window.html,
"CanvasRenderingContext2D.scrollPathIntoView method is removed").
It has now been removed from the spec and from MDN.
