Pick Contacts Intent

Hi Robin, Rich and all,

As discussed on the last call, I am pleased to volunteer as editor of the
Pick Contacts Intent. Once agreed, I will start the work by incorporating
the following changes in the draft:

- Dictionary definition
  . Change array typed members to sequence<T>
  . Change unnecessary nullable type  to normal type (as a member of
dictionary is inherently optional by definition)

- Intent action and type string
  . action: http://webintents.org/pick to http://intents.w3.org/pick
  . type: http://w3.org/type/contact to http://intents.w3.org/type/contact
  . We still need discussion on the type of Pick-* intent, though. [1]

- Based on recent discussion, |extras| has been removed from Web Intents
spec. [2] Hence, some changes are needed in the way of using
ContactIntentExtras. (or maybe we can remove it if that's more reasonable.
This is the same with MediaIntentExtra of the Pick Media Intent.)

Also, apparently, the next step to move Pick-* intents forward is to secure
reference services.
