Re: [w3c/permissions] feat(prompts): allow UAs to deny non-gesture prompts (#107)

@jan-ivar In https://github.com/w3c/permissions/pull/107#issuecomment-234170211 you asked "Are we presupposing here that UAs are barred from denying non-gesture prompts today?" The answer is "yes, UAs are barred from denying non-gesture prompts today" because there's no set of permissions states allowed by the current spec that would allow the sequence of events in https://github.com/w3c/permissions/pull/107#issuecomment-234320049.

"inflict change" is a pejorative way to put it, but I'm trying to specify how browsers handle permissions in general, outside the scope of the `navigator.permissions` object (contra @marcoscaceres' answer). I think this PR makes the spec more closely align with and describe the full variance in what browsers are actually doing.

@annevk I think you [captured](https://github.com/w3c/permissions/pull/107#issuecomment-234238254) one of the reasons to require user interaction with the page first: "Showing users a dialog without the user having asked for it might be confusing." Other reasons are behind the links in https://github.com/w3c/permissions/issues/77#issue-147599096.
