[tvcontrol-api] Access to parental control methods

chrisn has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/tvcontrol-api:

== Access to parental control methods ==
As currently specified, the `setParentalControlPin` and 
`setParentalControl` methods could easily be brute-forced by a web 
page to change the PIN or clear the `isLocked` flag, depending on the 
complexity of the PIN code set. This may be fine in a device-specific 
implementation context, but less desirable if the API is accessed from
 arbitrary web pages. How should these APIs be protected from abuse?
