This provides a more generic solution to #1606.

Browser-specs has become the main source for Specref for WICG specs and W3C Editor's Drafts. The code no longer attempts to fetch info for these specs from Specref as a result.

Tested locally, this will adjust a handful of spec titles (to match the actual spec title, which seems good)... and the URL of element-timing! Interestingly, it will also adjust a few WICG entries for which the spec says the status is "Unofficial Draft", which will also switch the standing of these specs to "pending". That seems good as well although we may want to review these changes before we release a new version. I propose to do that separately in any case. Specs in that category include: Web Share Target API, preferCurrentTab, the CSS Parser API.

Note: Specref is still being used as source, mainly for WHATWG specs.

Filtering drops WICG specs, but also drops W3C EDs.
