Re: [w3c/permissions] Editorial: rename specification (#284)

The 2015 WebFundamentals post predates the 2016 change in #97 that added a full set of definitions for other specs to call. The MDN article discusses the API part of this spec (`permissions.query()`) and doesn't name the specification at all. So they're not really evidence that there's a colloquial name for this specification as a whole.

We don't prioritize the web developer interface in naming specs like [Storage](https://storage.spec.whatwg.org/#api) or [Fetch](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#fetch-api), so it's not obvious that we should do it in this one, and doing naming this spec after just its web-facing API incurs the risk that other spec authors will try to reinvent the infrastructure this spec provides. So I'm still a vote for naming it just "Permissions".
