[sensors] Spec should allow user agents to reduce or disable polling for power saving purposes

mfoltzgoogle has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/sensors:

== Spec should allow user agents to reduce or disable polling for 
power saving purposes ==
For Presentation API, we have an explicit requirement [1] that the API
 be power-saving friendly, and some in the spec into how the UA can 
modify algorithms for continuous discovery of presentation displays in
 a power saving scenario [2].

The Sensors API use cases seem similar enough that some similar 
accommodations can be made (with an additional twist of also working 
in a Worker context). 

I'm happy to help with a PR once the read algorithms are more fleshed 
out.
