Blink and EdgeHTML no longer implement special-case parsing for isindex.

Blink, at least, per https://codereview.chromium.org/96653004/, also removed the special support for first-in-form text controls named "isindex". I haven't tested Edge on that.

We should consider removing it, if at least one of Gecko and WebKit is interested in doing so. I'll file bugs:

Are you Blink did that, it just says "This additionally means that we can remove the special-casing for forms containing as their first element."?

Oooh interesting. That would simplify some things in the URL Standard too.

Remove <isindex> and <input name=isindex> 
The <isindex> parser macro is a potential XSS problem and browsers have therefore started removing support. It is no longer supported by Chrome and Edge. Firefox also plans on removing support.

At least Chrome has also removed <input name=isindex> support and we anticipate other browsers to follow there too.

Fixes #1088.
