[mediacapture-main] Stop recommending UUID for deviceId/groupId (#682)

dontcallmedom has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main:

== Stop recommending UUID for deviceId/groupId ==
Because UUID are unique, and until we have double-keyed storage widely available, having deviceId (and groupId) being UUID creates a tracking opportunity for `getUserMedia()` callers embedded as third-party iframes.

I think having deviceIds be simple monotonically incremented integers should be sufficient for our use case. I'm not sure how we need to be here, beyond no longer recommending to use UUIDs as ids.

/cc @pes10k since we were discussing this while reviewing progress on privacy-related work on the spec
