Re: [me-media-timed-events] Rewrite gap analysis and recommendations for sync (#38)

Thank you! I'd started drafting something, but this is so much better than my attempt.

I have a few comments:

- Related to Nigel's feedback, I'm not sure it's accurate to say that `setTimeout` / `setInterval` schedule to points on a wall clock. For example, the HTML spec has a note: "This API does not guarantee that timers will run exactly on schedule. Delays due to CPU load, other tasks, etc, are to be expected."

- In 5.2.1 we should link to the media timeline definition.

- In my draft, I separated `timeupdate` into its own section from polling with a timer loop, as these aren't quite the same. Can I add this change to your branch?

- In 5.2.3, regarding `currentTime`, [as Nigel mentioned before](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-and-tv/2019Feb/0041.html), the goal is to synchronize to points in time rather than frames.
