Re: [whatwg/storage] Allow 'session' bucket (#71)

In general I'm personally kinda wary of auxiliary browsing contexts due to all their problems, but even with COOP they remain supported (if same-origin). And if we want people to not use synchronous storage APIs, getting them off `sessionStorage` might be tricky if the alternatives do not support the same kind of behavior.

Effects of sharing a bucket depends a bit on other features buckets might gain, but one piece here is that a bucket is the smallest unit a user agent is allowed to clear to free up storage. So if we have multiple session buckets in theory you could end up with some of them cleared but not all due to storage pressure.
