Re: [mediacapture-main] Provide guidance on potential device label sanitization (#747)

@bradisbell no, sanitation is different from removal.

DeviceInfo and track labels are supposed to match. The spec could be clearer about this, but that's my reading of _"[MUST return the label of the object's corresponding source](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#dom-mediastreamtrack-label)"_.

In order to be effective, sanitation would need to apply to allexposures. I don't think users would expect browsers to leak personally identifiable information like their full name in a camera/microphone API, even behind permission.

Thanks for checking. I'll try to consolidate the language around label to make this clearer.
