Re: [mediacapture-main] Allow device capabilities to be discoverable via enumerateDevices

I looked at this from an editorial/spec consistency standpoint and 
agree with Jan-Ivar that this crosses the line into more output info 
(and ultimately control) than the rest of the specification supports.
  Because output issues can be complex and are definitely different in
 some cases from input issues, all output work (with the notable 
exception I'll get to below) is being done in the separate Audio 
Output specification.
The one exception is that we do enumerate output devices.  This 
exception only occurred because of the absolute failure of WebRTC 
applications where a user donned a headset and could not choose for 
the audio to come out of the headset when using the headset 
microphone.

I think going beyond this is too far and that it would be better for 
the Audio Output spec to add any additional info for output devices.

Then again, I personally think capabilities info in enumerateDevices 
is too far, but that's just my personal opinion (not as an editor).
