Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] API for display-capturing the current tab (#625)

1. The long-term path (`getViewportMedia`) has a standard consensus track, and that is what is tracked in TAG issue #609. But this solution has multiple complexities and non-trivial security aspects that we still need to iron out. Therefore -
2. `preferCurrentTab` is a short-term measure that solves some use cases to some degree, and doesn't have the security problems associated with `getViewportMedia`.
3. After months of discussion, there is no consensus on `getViewportMedia` with Mozilla, so Chrome gave up and shipped `preferCurrentTab`.
4. We are still committed to `getViewportMedia`.
