Re: [web-nfc] Expose WebNFC to workers (#293)

The use case of reading tags and writing tags or peers needs a conscious action from the user, so indeed these use cases could be handled with implicit permission request (because there must be an explicit user action).

However, the use case of emulating a tag and reading from a peer should happen from a document that is visible and in focus with suitable prompting or obtaining permission. It's the same threats and security policy as for mobile payments. We want to avoid operations initiated by others that the user would be unaware of.
