Re: [web-bluetooth] Update 'script execution context' reference to refer to a `Bluetooth` instance

@jyasskin I assume you mean "one instance per global", right?

I do think that using the global that the `Bluetooth` instance is 
associated with would make sense to use here.  The relevant IDL 
wording is precisely that.  
http://heycam.github.io/webidl/#es-platform-objects says:

    Every platform object is associated with a global environment, 
just as the initial objects are.
    It is the responsibility of specifications using Web IDL to state 
which global environment (or, by
    proxy, which global object) each platform object is associated 
with. 

So your "extensions to the Navigator interface" section would define 
which global the returned `Bluetooth` instance is associated with and 
your definition of requestDevice (which I assume is the relevant API 
here) would look for an existing `BluetoothDevice` that matches 
whatever criteria and is associated with the same global, and if that 
doesn't exist, create it, and associate it with the global `this` is 
associated with. 

That said, since it sounds like you want to preserve its identity 
forever, you can probably just cache it in the `Bluetooth` instance so
 this all only matters in terms of defining the global the 
`BluetoothDevice` itself is associated with, right?
