Re: [mediacapture-main] Remove navigator.getUserMedia from the spec.

The unprefixed `navigator.getUserMedia` has already shipped in Edge, 
and the prefixed variants are shipping in Firefox and Chrome. Not sure
 about Safari.

Use counters for all variants were just added to Blink by @alvestrand:
* 
[`navigator.webkitGetUserMedia`](https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/1400)
 (an exact alias of the below)
* 
[`navigator.getUserMedia`](https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/1401)
* 
[`navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia`](https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/1402)

These won't reach the stable channel until September, but one can 
already tell that `navigator.webkitGetUserMedia` has the highest 
usage.

It seems pretty unlikely that anyone could get away with supporting 
none of `navigator.getUserMedia`, `navigator.moztGetUserMedia` and 
`navigator.webkitGetUserMedia`, so the spec needs to reflect that 
somehow. An option is to spec *only* `navigator.webkitGetUserMedia`, 
but given that it's a plain alias the cost of also supporting 
`navigator.getUserMedia` is very low.
