[privacy-tracker] Make WebNN API a policy-controlled feature: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webnn/issues/145


Review PR: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webnn/pull/159


<https://github.com/webmachinelearning/meetings/blob/master/telcons/2021-04-15-agenda.md#operation-specific-apis-proposal>Operation-specific APIs proposal

Background: operation-specific APIs proposal (Ping, Jonathan): https://github.com/webmachinelearning/proposals/issues/2


Continue refine work-in-progress features that satisfy the requirements of this proposal:

  *   WebAssembly scenario of the op level execution use case (Ningxin): https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webnn/issues/156


  *   Clarify at which point weights are used in the compilation (Rafael): https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webnn/issues/157


     *   Review the PR to address #157: WIP (Ningxin)
  *   Discuss how the caller using an op-specific API can resource upload and download (Chai)

Review proposed resolutions and provide your comments:

  *   Define a common term for logical tensor changes?
     *   Issue: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webnn/issues/150

     *   Proposed resolution: TBD
  *   Isomorphic JS story, worker scope exposure?
     *   Issue: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webnn/issues/142

     *   Proposed resolution: Expose ML interface to Worker in addition to its default Window context
  *   Ergonomics of the JS examples
     *   Issue: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webnn/issues/139

     *   Proposed resolution: Close with a note the primary API consumer is a JS framework
  *   String enum for activations
     *   Issue: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webnn/issues/138

     *   Proposed resolution: Close with a note the current organization of activation functions improves developer ergonomics
