Re: [w3c/gamepad] Please don't restrict to a secure context (#145)

Moving the GamepadAPI to a secure context is the wrong move. This would make it difficult to test some websites like LAN-hosted websites on **real** devices. For example, accessing my website from my phone which allows me to use a computer as the display and my phone as a controller would be impossible. Unless I have a self-signed certificate or buy one from the big guys who can charge you a pretty penny for them, I am screwed. Making users accept a dialogue to allow the website to use the GamepadAPI is the best option. While it may be a bit inconvenient for them, it does decrease the number of times people will have to use self-signed now non-validated certificates.
