Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] Add getCurrentBrowsingContextMedia (#148)

The lifetime of a capture target >= lifetime of a capture.

Sites today can capture the display (with *getDisplayMedia*) and the user (with *getUserMedia*), both of which (hopefully!) outlive the page and its capture of them. I don't feel users or developers are confused by that.

*getViewportMedia* could work, but is it distinct enough from *getDisplayMedia*?

FWIW, "screen", "window", and "tab" are the layterms around screen-sharing UX in browsers today.

AFAIK, screen-sharing isn't available yet on mobile, but I believe the term "tab" exists there as well as an organizing container/layterm for browsing context.

My objection to "browsing context" wasn't its scope, but it being technical under-the-hood term previously unexposed in the platform.
