[w3c/permissions] Direct Connection Permission (#196)

This adds a new permission called `direct-connection` which specifies how the IP handling mode of a WebRTC peer-to-peer connection is being upgraded.

A couple of background notes: The mechanism triggering the upgrade of the IP handling mode, piggybacked on `getUserMedia`, already exists in most browsers but it is not being reflected in the API. This change now allows to leverage the permission by other mechanisms and clarifies that `getUserMedia` may implicitly grant it.

More details on the rationale are being described in the [Direct Connection PR](https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc/pull/2175#issue-271288320) towards the WebRTC WG.
