doc: remove broken link for keygen
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Remove broken link to deprecated keygen element.

Replacing the link with something to the relevant
part of the HTML spec might be OK, but I don't think
it's necessary. People who need to know will find it
and everyone else should be discouraged from using
this.

Support for the keygen element was removed from Chrome in 2017
and removed from Firefox in 2019. We might consider deprecating
and removing support ourselves, or at least marking the API
as legacy.
