[Bug 25200] Add optional "licenseType" parameter to createSession()

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25200

--- Comment #6 from David Dorwin <ddorwin@google.com> ---
As noted in the telecon this week, the purpose of the original proposal is to
allow an application (and license server) that supports both "streaming"
(temporary) licenses and persisted licenses to request a specific type. Such an
application might normally stream content but also allow content and licenses
to be persisted - for example, for offline playback on an airplane.

This does not necessarily address other types of (non-content) keys that may be
persisted on the client. We should address those use cases separately. (It's
possible that those use cases may end up using this same parameter in some
way.)

As for the naming, maybe we should use "temporary" and "persistent". This is
explicit and consistent with the Quota API
(http://www.w3.org/TR/quota-api/#storagetype-enum). However, we may need to add
another type of app-persistable licenses if there is desire to support this
model.
