Re: [w3c/permissions] Remove object-based permissions (#42)

Taking [`enableHighAccuracy`](https://github.com/w3ctag/spec-reviews/blob/master/2015/03/Permissions.md#insufficient-reflection) as an example, there might be a difference in the prompt (UX) to express whether the page wants coarse or expensive results, and developers have to be aware of the `enableHighAccuracy` field in geolocation's `PermissionDescriptor` in order to use it.

I think Bluetooth could get away with just `query("bluetooth")` by returning the full list of allowed `BluetoothDevice` objects, and making the developer filter them. That would be more difficult with Geolocation, MIDI, and Push, where the different levels of the API could be most combinations of `"granted"`, `"prompt"`, or `"denied"`. Bluetooth couldn't get away with just `request("bluetooth")`, because of the need to filter the prompt.
