Re: [webrtc-pc] Permission API for receive-only media and data use cases (#2175)

I doubt Firefox would ever explore a modal prompt for this. I suspect a "block first" approach is better.

But that doesn't mean we cannot expose the permission. For instance, we could expose what is implicit today, which is that granting camera or microphone access has this IP leaking side effect (mockup):

This might even help Firefox explore persisting this "direct connection" permission after initial gUM, for parity with Chrome (which is why I drew it as "Allowed" instead of "Allowed Temporarily".

We've always been adamant that camera and microphone permission should not be persisted by default, to prevent uninitiated snooping, but I don't think those same concerns extend to IP mode. That part sort of just happened.
