Re: [mediacapture-main] A privacy concern of "Media Capture and Streams" (#630)

In fact, we're giving people [this workaround](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1596959#c4) to extend permission to the end of session in Firefox:
```js
keepalive = stream.clone();
for (const track of keepalive.getTracks()) track.enabled = false;
```
The spec has strong privacy indicator requirements, so everything should work as before, except you'll see gray (not red) camera/mic indicators in the URL bar when everything is off, and they'll turn red again instead of re-prompting user when site requests access anew.

Sadly, this depends on w3c/mediacapture-main#642.
