Re: [w3c/permissions] Add a fourth permission state "grantable without a prompt"? (#250)

So now we have the following,

>Every permission has a default state (usually [prompt](https://www.w3.org/TR/permissions/#dfn-prompt)), which is the [state](https://www.w3.org/TR/permissions/#dfn-permission-state) that the permission is in when the user has not yet given [express permission](https://www.w3.org/TR/permissions/#dfn-express-permission) to use the [feature](https://www.w3.org/TR/permissions/#dfn-powerful-feature) or it has been reset because its [lifetime](https://www.w3.org/TR/permissions/#dfn-lifetime) has expired.

But I'm not sure that solves what @mkruisselbrink is asking for. We want something that means "granted when its been requested, but not yet requested". Maybe "default" is the way to go. Or we spell "default" as "grantable". 🤔 

A spec like persistent-storage could define the default as "granted", but I think that would be misleading and then devs wouldn't know they should request it. But maybe Storage is a bad example, because devs can just use `navigator.storage.persisted()` (where `false` means "grantable but not yet requested" and `true` means "granted" instead of `navigator.permissions.query()`).
