Re: CfC: only allow authenticated origins to call getUserMedia

I think that this request is reasonable.

FWIW, I am ambivalent about this one. If we had gone out with something
from, or near, the start, it would have been easier. As it stands, security
of this comes down to an assessment of their network environment by users,
which is clearly not ideal, but nor is it the worst thing ever. There are
worse things, and any exposure is strictly limited.
