Task: Refactoring (2017-11-16 09:42:30+00:00)

Issue:
Use el.dataset.foo = bar instead of setAttribute(el, 'data-foo', bar)
[REPL](https://svelte.technology/repl?version=1.39.3&gist=c9f289fc5bd3af71d2137b3a8315b320). `dataset` is supported in all current browsers — we should probably generate this code...

```js
div.dataset.foo = "bar";
```

...instead of this...

```js
setAttribute(div, "data-foo", "bar");
```

...unless the `legacy` option is set.
