Re: [w3c/permissions] Requesting permission shouldn't imply storing it. (#93)

Couple of comments:
* Developers need to know if `request()` ended up as a no-op. This is the most common outcome of a permission prompt and leaving the promise hanging wouldn't be good.
* The `PermissionStatus` returned by `request()` represent the current state of the permission. If it returns `granted` but then a call to `query()` returns `prompt`, there is an inconsistency that I would call a bug. The spec says that `PermissionStatus`' value should actually change in that case.
* How does a permission gets granted **now**. I can imagine a permission granted for some time, a permission granted for the session but **now** is something I haven't seen. The concept of a request that only applies at the time when the request is made also sounds meaningless because you couldn't do anything with it. Though, I feel that I might be missing something here.
