Re: [w3c/permissions] Move permissions out to each spec (#263)

@marcoscaceres Somewhat related to this, should `web-share` be listed as a permission in the spec? I ask because there appears to be a 1:1 mapping to the [Permission Policy](https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-permissions-policy/#feature-policy-http-header-field) definitions for most permissions and permission policy settings..

It isn't totally clear what the mapping "should" be (to me). Is the following correct?
- permissions control what options are offered to users via the browser settings or GUI when you try to use an API. 
- permission policy determines what the server thinks you should be able to use, and generally might be what sets the permission or what makes it visible to a user.

Further, more closely related, if you move the permissions out to specs it would be really helpful to provide some information about where they are going to. Then we can update the browser compatibility info https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Permissions_API#browser_compatibility with spec links.
