Re: [w3c/permissions] Only allow permissions.request() during user interaction (#77)

@jyasskin I'm fairly sure Chrome's persistent grants are collateral, not per device, FYI.

> If a user intended to grant permission temporarily, it seems like we should be discouraging pages from bugging them about it until they express interest in re-granting the permission.

Nah. If [appear.in](https://appear.in/alice) bothers Frank, he picks "Never Share". Problem solved.

Even for the drive-by web, this is a non-issue in Firefox today, because its door-hangers minimize when ignored, so they're not the nuisance they are in Chrome. Let Chrome fix its UX without requiring spec changes.

> Why isn't the right thing for him to do just to grant persistent access?

Because he prefers control over when the camera turns on.

Please read [the spec](http://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#privacy-and-security-considerations): *"Authorization may be given on a case-by-case basis, or be persistent."*
