Removal of old JavaScript

This fork uses jQuery.slim, downsized/simplified versions of scripts and has no support for Internet Explorer.

The result is faster and smaller download code (good for mobile networks).

Things might work in Edge 15-18, Firefox 47-62 and Chrome 54-68 due to one polyfill for array.flat().

370.665 bytes is not much, but it feels faster.
