Re: [mediacapture-main] Remove redundant list-devices permission.

@alvestrand But it's not the same thing only cleaner, it's different, 
and I don't remember any discussions on it, therefore I think it only 
fair to remove it until such discussion has happened.

The old language already covered multiple devices: "If none of the 
local devices are attached to an active MediaStreamTrack in the 
current browsing context, and if no persistent permission to access 
these local devices has been granted to the page's origin", (then no 
label).

This meant a page would stop seeing labels at a well-defined point: 
when the user revoked permission for the last device a page has access
 to, or the script's last active stream ended, whichever happened 
later. This clarity has disappeared.

> At the moment, it is described as being set whenever a persistent 
gUM is set.

Could you point me to the specific language?

If we add an API later, shouldn't we discuss any permissions it may 
need at that time?
