Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Add Skip-Ad media session action (Issue #957)

Firstly, we need to ask whether this was implemented in browsers *other than* Chrome.  If it wasn't, this presents an opportunity to improve it.

One desire we have is to make this feature generic, rather than being specific to skipping ads.

We observe that the [Media Chapter](https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/952) information (that we recently reviewed) might provide a useful hook for this sort of control.  "Chapters" that are skippable can be marked as such in that metadata.  The type of thing to skip might be included in that information.  Consider `{ ..., skippable: "ad" }`.  That would allow for skipping of intro sequences and credits in addition to ads.

For accessibility purposes, this sort of thing might need to be given a symbol so that non-textual users are able to more readily access the function.  Please consult an accessibility expert about this (@matatk indicated that APA is likely to want to take another look; it's been a while since they reviewed the original MediaSession proposal).
