remove 2508

- inactive in user.js since
   - v55: gfx.direct2d.disabled
   - v67: layers.acceleration.disabled
- the way to counter hardware fingerprinting is within each API that may expose it
- this may have made some sense way back in the day, when there were less options/protections, but not any more
- [are we web render yet](https://arewewebrenderyet.com/) - yes, 100% - there is no need to cripple your browser's perf
