Re: [mediacapture-main] Garbage collection of live tracks (#910)

That the camera stops and its light goes away when it is no longer used, is a feature of the browser, and a bug in the app. it seems prudent to free up resources and to alert the user they are no longer being observed.

I'd argue that what's disconcerting to users (as opposed to web developers) is not that tracks end, but that camera lights stay on longer than expected. https://github.com/GoogleChrome/developer.chrome.com/issues/4894 seems to confirm this.

Marking this as editorial to add the note mentioned in https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/910#issuecomment-1285733588. If anyone disagrees, please comment.
