Re: [web-bluetooth] Allow passing MAC address filter to requestDevice() (#417)

As it relates to this issue, we do have access to the MAC address on MAC OS when using Chrome and  WebBLE?  Based on my test, this hold true for MAC OS, Windows 10 and Chromebook.  Apple does not support MAC addresses in their Mobile OS.  However, WebBLE is not supported on IOS anyway.  So in this case, adding the filter would be more than suitable for those that are truly using WebBLE on supported platforms, right?  

There are many use cases where you simply want to connect to a specific device.  In the case where users are working in a group environment, using the same hardware, it's nearly impossible to attach to the correct device if they are broadcasting at the same time with the current options.
