Re: [mediacapture-main] MediaStreamError should not be an interface

... the last 3 times we discussed putting the failing constraint name 
in the message, the prospect of forcing users into parsing messages 
with undefined syntax (or limiting them to giving only this 
information and nothing else) did not fill people's hearts with joy.
We went through this with SMTP (ended up with error codes + messages, 
some of which people try to parse with limited success) and IMAP 
(ended up with a defined syntax for the machine-parseable part of 
messages). Neither is enjoyable.
