Build Tools: Remove outmoded jsvalidate task from Gruntfile.

grunt-jsvalidate was added to catch situations where minification introduced parsing errors in Internet Explorer.
IE is no longer supported by WordPress, and the grunt task itself has not been maintained for a decade.
Removing this task simplifies the build and avoids false-positive warnings where the outdated tool flags modern JS syntax incorrectly.

Props westonruter, joemcgill, jorbin, youknowriad, desrosj, swissspidy.
Fixes #58645. See #26615.
