[w3ctag/design-reviews] WebCodecs (#433)

Hello TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of:

  - Name: WebCodecs
  - Specification URL: None yet (but there is [early WebIDL](https://github.com/WICG/web-codecs/blob/master/webcodecs.idl))
  - Explainer: <https://github.com/WICG/web-codecs/blob/master/explainer.md>
  - GitHub issues: <https://github.com/WICG/web-codecs/issues>
  - Tests: None yet
  - Primary contacts: steveanton, pthatcherg

Further details:

  - Relevant time constraints or deadlines: None
  - [x] I have read and filled out the [Self-Review Questionnare on Security and Privacy](https://www.w3.org/TR/security-privacy-questionnaire/). The [assessment is here](https://github.com/WICG/web-codecs/blob/security-privacy-questionaire/security-privacy-questionaire.md).
  - [x] I have reviewed the TAG's [API Design Principles](https://w3ctag.github.io/design-principles/)
  - The group where the work on this specification is: WICG
  - Major unresolved issues are tagged as "hard" on the github issue tracker: https://github.com/WICG/web-codecs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Ahard

You should also know that...

- The review is early on in the design stage because we expect to learn a lot from early implementation feedback, so we'd like to get a rough design reviewed so that we can begin implementations and get that feedback to further refine the design.
- A portion of the explainer and WebIDL could be done a separate standard from WebCodecs, namely the conversions from WHATWG streams to MediaStreamTracks (called TrackWriters and TrackReaders at the moment).  Many use cases require these, but use cases outside of WebCodecs could also find these useful.  For simplicity, we are considering such work inside the scope of WebCodecs, although it could be pulled out later.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please select one):

  - [x] open issues in our GitHub repo for each point of feedback
