Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] Provide a means to select only part of a screen to capture (#105)

@henbos The intent of this issue was to select a portion of the screen to record, e.g., a `<video>` element. Since HTML `<video>` is not an "Application", in general, it would be necessary to use `ImageCapture.grabFrame()` and `getDisplayMedia()`. Since `PictureInPictureWindow` is considered an "Application" a partial workaround https://github.com/guest271314/MediaFragmentRecorder/tree/getdisplaymendia-pictureinpicture that has limitations on `width` and `height`. The similarity to a screenshot proposal or issue is incidental. The user should still be able to select only part of the screen using this API, without having to use other APIs to exclude portions of the screen not intended to be captured. That is what lead to the awareness that `getDisplayMedia()` at Chrome can leak tabs, applications and windows _not_ granted permission to capture.
