Drop Internet Explorer support #319

Internet Explorer will be officially EOL (End of Life) on June 15, 2022 (see The future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge).

Let's review WPP's code after that date and remove everything IE related that we can, including (but not limited to):

[x] Explore possibilities of using currentScript + wp_print_script_tag (WP 5.7+), may remove the need to inline JS variables in <head>?
[x] Replace var in for loops with let
[x] Remove ShadowDOM support checks from wpp.js
[x] Remove outdated CSS rules from WPP's stylesheets and the Wiki
[ ] Maybe bump minimum supported WordPress version to 5.8? (see Version 5.8 - Dropping Support for IE11)
