Summary
Remove the "const unsigned short MEDIA_ERR_ENCRYPTED" member of the MediaError interface.
Motivation
It has been removed from the Encrypted Media Extensions spec:https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21203#c30
Usage information from UseCounter
https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/253
The counter is old, but only began actually working in M39 as constants couldn't be counted before.
It has stayed still at 0%. The data from February must be bogus since constants didn't actually work then...

Compatibility Risk
It is never used internally, so any comparison with MEDIA_ERR_ENCRYPTED will be false, and will continue to be so after it becomes undefined.
