Re: [w3c/permissions] Drop .request() (#83)

When writing the polyfill, I assumed that if you drop the handle, you might have to re-prompt in order to get it back. My geolocation implementation is knowingly a bit wrong in that regard, since it only uses `getCurrentPosition()` instead of `watchPosition()`, but with enough time, I'd have it emulate a multiply-callable `getCurrentPosition()` by just keeping the `watchPosition()` stream open. I think we can probably improve on the polyfill's detailed behavior with a native API, and I think we'll still have to discuss those detailed improvements after the overall outline is figured out. For example, I know of some differences between what @alvestrand and I are imagining.

@marcoscaceres, were you saying that Firefox's reprompting within the same realm is probably a bug? That seems inconsistent with @jan-ivar's position that reprompting is desirable. What are Mozilla's goals here, as distinct from a bunch of individuals who work at Mozilla?
