Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] Consider exposing screen share state to websites. (#220)

Regardless of our intentions, if we make it possible for a website to censor itself rather than be captured, some websites will use this mechanism, sometimes against the user's wishes, and we will be limiting the user. Some users will come out with the impression that "screencapture on browser-X Just Works™, but on browser-Y it keeps breaking." Users will be upset, browser-Y will roll the feature back, and browser-X will end up with a few new users.
