Sensor: timestamp property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The timestamp read-only property of the Sensor interface returns the timestamp of the latest sensor reading.

Because Sensor is a base class, timestamp may only be read from one of its derived classes.
