Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] Provide a means to select only part of a screen to capture (#105)

@youennf This issue was filed initially due to, at the time, Chromium browser crashing when attempting to render variable width and height (pixel dimensions) video at `HTMLMediaElement` when using `captureStream()` with `MediaRecorder`, in pertinent part see https://github.com/guest271314/MediaFragmentRecorder/tree/chromium_crashes, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=992235#c29. Thus the gist of the code at OP was to capture video being played on the screen, adjusting width and height.

Do wait around for specification authors, maintainers or implementers to do stuff, here. If there is a bug observed, generally immediately commence creating multiple workarounds, proof-of-concepts, and testing. This issue just happens to strike a chord with users that obviously have other use cases, particularly taking screen shots, where again, exclusion of tabs, other windows, and non-essential parts of the capture should be excluded, or rather, the ability to capture precisely what is intended to be captured the first time, and nothing else.
