Re: [whatwg/storage] Meta: export keys, sheds, and bottles (PR #179)

A slight tangent, but if there's a general rethink on what should be exported: both [Indexed DB](https://w3c.github.io/IndexedDB/#database-construct) and [Web Locks](https://w3c.github.io/web-locks/#lock-managers) use (or should use) storage keys and bottles in ways beyond the original idea. In both of those cases, it's because the bottle map idea is a great fit for the local storage API (it's a simple key/value store) but for more complex cases there are [some contortion required](https://github.com/w3c/IndexedDB/pull/334) to make it fit; there's more logic required to managing IndexedDB's set of databases and the set of requested/held Web Locks than just entries in a map. One approach is to say that a site's entire "indexeddb manager" or "lock manager" resides in a single value within the local session storage bottle map for "indexeddb" or "lock", but that also feels kinda weird.
