Description

In late 2015, the HTML spec was updated to merge DOMSettableTokenList into DOMTokenList. It appears that no MDN page exists for DOMSettableTokenList. So the inheritance for this can be safely removed.
Note that I'll be filling out notes about this change on appropriate pages in the BCD.
