[remote-playback] Define remote playback interaction with background playback policies

mfoltzgoogle has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/remote-playback:

== Define remote playback interaction with background playback policies ==
>From https://www.w3.org/2018/05/17-webscreens-minutes.html#x03:

If a media element is in a background or minimized tab, the user agent may stop rendering media, not allow the media element to autoplay, or render the media muted, depending on user agent policies.

This issue tracks updating the spec to describe what happens when:
- A playing, remoted media element is put into the background and the user agent would normally stop rendering entirely or mute audio
- A background media element prompts for remote playback

The results will depend on the implementation of remote playback.  For example an implementation based on flinging should be able to continue remote playback, while implementations based on streaming may not.

There might be other scenarios I'm missing.
