Re: [w3c/gamepad] Add vendorId, productId, name attributes (PR #202)

So three use cases:

1. Show matching icon for each controller
2. Feature detection for buttons
3. Identify each controller

1 may be fun but not sure it's important enough. 2 should be solved by #196. 3 sounds like a workaround rather than actual direct use case of this, how can I identify each controller by name if I have 4 Xbox 360 controllers connected? Should the application instead vibrate each controller for example so that I can know which is which?

It's not adding a new fingerprinting vector, but this still eases use of unnecessarily exposed device specific info that I'd rather discuss removing `id` to resist fingerprinting and add missing features that this might solve as #196 does. (i.e. I think two feature-equivalent gamepads should be perceived equivalent to Gamepad API even if those are different products. Like how we don't allow differentiating a Logitech mouse and Microsoft mouse.)
