Re: [whatwg/storage] StorageEstimate.quota + Storage Pressure (#73)

@annevk A recurring use-case in the Service Workers/Storage space is that a single origin may be divided up into sub-sites each handled by largely independent teams.  If each team defines their own buckets and those buckets have their own quota, this helps the team reason about and control their storage usage.  It also helps the browser apportion quota increases based on the sub-sites the user actually uses.

For example, imagine a site with a news feed that aggressively (pre)caches which the user barely uses, plus a photo album that opportunistically caches and which the user uses all the time.  They each use their own bucket.  If they share the same quota, the news feed might see there is spare quota and use up all the quota for its own purposes the user doesn't care about, while the photo caching bucket remains effectively the same size.  Should the two sub-sites have to coordinate between themselves on how to allocate their quota, or should the browser be doing it for them via bucket quotas?
