Re: [w3c/permissions] Remove object-based permissions (#42)

Ah, right, and for midi we'd have <code>"midi-[sysex](https://webaudio.github.io/web-midi-api/#widl-MIDIOptions-sysex)-[software](https://webaudio.github.io/web-midi-api/#widl-MIDIOptions-software)"</code>, etc. That's plausible, but I think it gets klunky when you have more than one option.

UAs do have to do more than store a string here: we [should forbid](https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#permissiondescriptor-stronger-than) weird behaviors like `"geolocation"` being denied while `"geolocation-precise"` is granted. However, that doesn't imply anything for the shape of the API.

@alvestrand has a different vision for how `query()` and `request()` should work than I do (his `query()` stays orthogonal to [`enumerateDevices()`](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/#enumerating-devices) instead of obsoleting it), but even his more tightly scoped view involves a string in the descriptor dictionary: https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#media-devices.
