Re: [ambient-light] Editorial: Drop own powerful feature, require active local video source. (#83)

> So what's the mechanics of "require there to be at least one local video source that is not muted or stopped"? From as user's point of view is the query overtly about the camera?

From a user's point of view the idea is that this represents a camera, or something akin to it that also causes browsers to show an indicator to users that video capture is happening and that fulfills the `{video: true}` constraint when it is passed to `getUserMedia()`.

"source" is defined [here](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/#dfn-source), "local video" is a term I am not sure about to be honest.

Another way to look at it is that ALS readouts should be provided only when UAs also show users that video capture is happening according to https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/#privacy-indicator-requirements -- I am still not sure if this spec should look at the `[[devicesLiveMap]]` internal slot or `anyVideoLive`.
