Re: [mediacapture-main] gUM firing repeatedly for the same page load

@mhofman I don't fully agree with your assessment that I "already have
 to deal with the device access potentially failing for other 
reasons."  Beyond the initial gUM request, it isn't a consideration 
our page has had to make in the past, particularly with the addition 
of device enumeration.  With Firefox, you're right, we will have to 
deal with it: some number of users will close the dialog completely.  
Some amount will leave tab focus and the dialog will disappear.  Some 
amount of them will change settings in that dialog, possibly disabling
 camera/mic entirely.  My opinion is: this discrepancy stems entirely 
from an incoherent interaction between permissions and device 
enumeration/selection in this standard.

To your comments about interruptions to ongoing calls, point taken.  
We can do that.
