Re: [mediacapture-main] Describe permission.query fingerprinting mitigation for camera and microphone (#1048)

I have posted some of my reservations on that other issue.

With respect to Safari's choice to hide `block` from the Web app, that's your choice to make, but I'd like to point out:
- The user might not know that the permission is blocked.
  - The user might have consistently rejected permissions many months ago.
   - It might have been **another family member** accessing the same device who consistently rejected the prompt.
- There is cost to **the user** in having to interact with a seemingly half-broken Web app; not all users would understand why all those pesky Web apps fail to know ahead of time that they can't access the mic, and only discover that after the user attempts to initiate mic-access...
