[whatwg/storage] Miscellaneous editorial feedback (#23)

2. Terminology

* "site" definition here is used only used in UI Guidelines but presence here implies normative parts of the spec may use this concept. Can this be defined inline in UI Guidelines instead?

3. Infrastructure

* Call out that cookies are not considered part of site storage?
* If we include a Privacy section it should note that site storage should be cleared along with cookies to prevent user tracking.
* As written, nothing prevents us from having multiple origin storage units associated with the same origin, but we're starting off with 1:1 mapping. Could we clarify the text given this? I confess I think of things in terms of UA→origin→storage→box not UA→storage→(origin, box) which doesn't match how specs are framed.
* Do we want to clarify that phrases like "clear a origin's site storage" imply clearing the box associated with an origin via the origin storage unit? I suppose that should wait until we need that hook.

4. Persistent permission

* It seems like we should say something informative about what this permission means is, even if it is entirely up to the UA and uses "MAY". Maybe just a "see 6.1 Storage Pressure reference"

5. Quota

* See also #22 
* See if we can define usage/quota in an inclusive way to cover Edge's current behavior (which has quota per-origin/per-source rather than just per-origin)

6. User Interface Guidelines

* Define "source" somewhere
