Re: [w3c/permissions] Introduce "Automation" section (#151)

Thanks for the review, @JKereliuk! [The BikeShed tool](https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed) renders that text as a hyperlink to [the definition of the phrase in the output document](https://s3.amazonaws.com/pr-preview/bocoup/permissions/automation.html). The definition reads:

> **New information about the user’s intent**
>
> The UA may collect information about a user’s intentions in any way its
> authors believe is appropriate. This information can come from explicit user
> action, aggregate behavior of both the relevant user and other users, or
> other sources this specification hasn't anticipated.

I think this answers the question of "what this new information actually means," but since the build-time link generation is subtle, I'm not sure if (1) you were not aware of it, or (2) you were aware of it, but feel the referenced definition is inadequate. Could you let me know?

In either case, the definition definitely doesn't answer the question, "how can I update it?" As far as I know, though, this vagueness is intentional. I believe the specification editors chose loose language to give implementers more freedom.
