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

@jyasskin the idea of ".request() returns an object that can be used to gather permissions" is almost identical to the idea I had on the first attempt at merging permissions with getusermedia, where there would be a temporary permission that was automatically dropped at device close.
This proved to be highly confusing, and we went for another solution where getusermedia was the one that checked for open devices before bothering to ask about permissions.

@jan-ivar seeing you argue in one paragraph that we shouldn't do .request because it restricts browser UI choice for permission handling and in the next paragraph that we shouldn't make .request() work because it discourages one particular choice of UI for permissions (Android bundling) is confusing to me.
