Document PopStateEvent() and PopStateEvent.state

[teoli2003]

Description

This PR adds the missing documentation for the following:

• PopStateEvent()
• PopStateEvent.state

Motivation

openwebdocs/project#153

Additional details

• I didn't add an example to PopStateEvent() as the web developer usually does not call this constructor.
• I removed all uses of window.history throughout MDN: modern usage is the plain history global variable. (One is left in the Window interface where it belongs).
• I added notes indicating that the History API can only be used in the window global scope (the main thread) and not in workers or worklets.
• I put PopStateEvent inside the History API group.
• There would be many more rabbit holes to follow (the guides could be vastly improved), but that's outside the project's scope.
• The flaws listed are non-written pages unrelated to this work that are in pages I only marginally updated.
