[w3c/webpayments] [Tokenized Card Payment] TokenCardRequest should inherit from BasicCardRequest (#212)

_Ian requested some feedback on this proposal, which I am happy to provide. Note that my feedback should not be taken as an endorsement of the proposal itself._

The payment response of a tokenized card inherits from the basic card spec:

```
dictionary TokenizedCardResponse : BasicCardResponse {
    required DOMString cardLast4;
             DOMString tokenType;
             DOMString tokenRequesterId;
};
```

...but the request does not:

```
enum TokenCardType {
    "emv",
    "issuer"
};

dictionary TokenCardRequest {
    sequence<DOMString>     supportedNetworks;
    sequence<TokenCardType> supportedTypes;
};
```

Additionally, it seems to me that basic card payment supports limiting the type of card whereas tokenized card does not:

```
enum BasicCardType {
    "credit",
    "debit",
    "prepaid"
};

dictionary BasicCardRequest {
    sequence<DOMString>     supportedNetworks;
    sequence<BasicCardType> supportedTypes;
};
```

Since it is a fairly common use case to limit payment to debit cards (versus credit) I wonder why tokenized card doesn't support this. If TokenCardRequest inherited from BasicCardRequest and renamed its`supportedTypes` property to `supportedTokenizationMethods` this could be very easily accomplished.
