Re: [w3c/gamepad] Restrict getGamepads() to [SecureContext] (#113)

Yeah partly it is not that. I just don't see in how requesting/getting access to the current connected gamepads would be usefull for 'hackers' to do malisious things. I understand camera and microphone would have to be secure context, but this, this just doesn't make sense. 

But maybe the local network access would be the solution for me if this really is being forced into, but else please rethink your idea of making this function secure context only.

Btw the `ongamepadconnected` event doesn't seem to be removed for non secure context (or at least it doesn't give message and it doesn't seem to be changed in the PR) with this and still gives you access to the connected gamepad, but because chrome just saves a snapshot so you cannot do very much with it.
