Proposal: A pinning mechanism for CSP?

TL;DR: Moar email. Feedback on
https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/csp-pinning/ would be ever so welcome.

I've had a draft of a pinning mechanism for CSP sitting on my hard drive
for a while now; Yan kicked my butt into gear to get it cleaned up and out
the door for discussion. It's nowhere near complete, and is pretty
hand-wavey in a number of places, but I think the building blocks are there
for something that could be pretty useful for sites that are worried about
CSP's per-resource delivery mechanism. Rather than forcing developers to
"catch them all", we can help developers pin a minimal policy for a host
(and its subdomains), and layer more granular policies on top.

Feedback would be quite appreciated. If there's enough interest (and folks
don't think the idea is insane), I'll clean up the doc a bit more and see
if we can push it out as a FPWD.

Thanks!

+Chris and Ryan, since I stole ideas from PKP and HSTS. Hopefully I only
stole the good ones.
