[mediacapture-record] pause/resume are not very well defined (#191)

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

== pause/resume are not very well defined ==
The description of pause and resume is not very clear to me. The spec says that:
- Stop gathering data into blob (but keep it available so that recording can be resumed in the future).

This could be either understood as:
- continue encoding but do not add data to that blob (but added back to the blob on resume or added to the next blob once requestData is created)
- pause encoding so no new encoded data is generated at all (but keep any already encoded data). Encoding will be restarted once resume is called, which probably needs proper handling of timestamps.

WPT tests seem to be lacking in that area as well.
