Re: [w3c/permissions] Add another permission state "positive" or "granted last time"? (Issue #414)

We've [suggested this to sites](https://bugzil.la/1609427#c4) in the past, but they've [refused storage as a solution](https://bugzil.la/1609427#c10), claiming too many edge cases to worry about.

The challenge seems to be to abstract this information in a manner sites can respond to directly, without requiring them to write extra code to accommodate specific user agents, which they're not doing.

I don't think this impacts web compat much, as sites seem to chase `"granted"` as the happy path:
- Sites that use `if (state != "granted") primeUser()` would remain unaffected
- Sites that use `if (state == "prompt") primeUser()` would no longer prime returning users (an improvement from my pov).
