Re: [w3c/permissions] Add 'screen-wake-lock' permission (#247)

I think that the idea we might want controls later, as @reillyeon says, is a good general principle to apply.  If every browser implements the feature AND doesn't use the capability in any way to deny access then we can talk about removing the cruft.  For now, however, it probably makes sense to leave it in.

There is no substantial harm if `.query("blah")` always returns true, for any value of "blah". Identifiers are cheap.

I've also got this vague idea that we might want to have some sort of allowance in the API for heuristic-based grants, particularly those that are granted based on user interaction (which might result in a time-limited grant).

This might be one of those where a browser might want to engage some sort of notification in their UI that the feature is enabled (like fullscreen). In that case, to ensure that the UI gets a chance to be seen, the action might only be permitted in response to user interaction.

(Maybe that's not in scope for this repo, but I thought it worth flagging.)

Anne's point about permissions policy seems like a better reason to keep the permission if you don't like mine :)
