[Bug 19936] consider allowing non-matching enums to be converted to a particular value

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19936

--- Comment #9 from Jan-Ivar Bruaroey [:jib] <jib@mozilla.com> ---
"None of the above" is not the same as "not present". For example:

  navigator.getUserMedia({
    video: {}
  })

means "unconstrained", give me any camera, I don't care which way it faces. But

  navigator.getUserMedia({
    video: {
      facingMode: { exact: "blah" },
    }
  })

must NOT succeed, because the caller is requiring a direction known to them but
unknown to the (old) browser. Likewise:

  navigator.getUserMedia({
    video: {
      advanced: [
        { facingMode: "blah", aspectRatio: 16/9}, // multi-constraint
        { facingMode: "user"},                    // single constraint
      ]
    }
  })

is required to satisfy both "blah" and 16/9 or give up and move to the next
entry. In other words, if it doesn't know "blah" then it should not limit
user-facing cameras to 16/9.

Travis' suggestion doesn't have the this problem, or the problem with
sequences. We can define:

  enum VideoFacingModeEnum {
    "user",
    "environment",
    "left",
    "right"
    "other" = default
  };

and blah turns into facingMode: ["user", "other", "left"] just fine.
