This PR removes the text filter params from the tinyMCE.
In old Joomla versions (<3.6) the user had to define valid html tags and forbidden tags into paramm fields.
Then the user could choose if he wants to use the joomla text filter or self defined html tags.
We see in the german Joomla Forum that most users don't know anything about these choices but keep asking why their scripts disappear when a text is saved. Then we explain that Joomla Text filter is better.
So why give them the params and explain again and again?
The Joomla text filters are easier to manage and it is more consitent to manage global filters on one place.
Existing installations are not touched, it is only for new installations.
Install a new Joomla.
In tinyMCE settings, the params are removed.
If you did not change the filter settings for users:
As super user: Write an article, switch to html mode, add a script. Save and close. Opebn and close again.
The script remains, textfilter allowe that.
Do the same as editor in frontend - the script is removed.
You can change the Joomla user filters as you want and make sure that these settings are used when writing with tinyMCE
Depending on settings in tinyMCE, the user can see different behaviour, depending on the tinyMCE wettings.
Global Joomla text filter settings are always used.

I dont mind changing the default setting to "use joomla filters" on new installs but i would not remove the tinymce filter options.
The simple variant - changing the default value - was my first attempt.
This could go into 6.2 if Release managers agree.
If someone has already extensive filter setting - then it is a big b/c, indeed and would need database changes.
Let me move that to discussion for a later version and open the simpler PR . Thanks for the feeback.
