Re: [web-bluetooth] Allow filtering by device name and name prefix in requestDevice().

As long as the browser's device implements the Privacy Feature (which 
Chrome, Android, and Mac do, at least), I don't think connecting hurts
 privacy. It mainly hurts performance.

If we want to back off of insisting that filters screen out some 
devices, I think the main benefit would be simplifying the 
specification. Trying to make wildcard filters verbose blocks all the 
simplifications we'd otherwise be able to make, so I think we should 
go all the way or not do it at all.
