Re: [deviceorientation] Add API for requesting permission to receive device motion / orientation events (#57)

This is disappointing. I hope the API will make it into an update soon.

For anyone looking for a workaround, the best thing to do is to detect the disabled state via a timeout and clear it in the event handler. Something like this:

```
const id = setTimeout(() => alert('Enable device orientation in Settings > Safari > Motion & Orientation Access.'), 500);

window.addEventListener('deviceorientation', event => {
	clearTimeout(id);
	// ...
});
```
