[mediacapture-screen-share] Add an API to share the current tab (#149)

henbos has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-screen-share:

== Add an API to share the current tab ==
Today, getDisplayMedia() lets the user pick what to share, but there are use cases where the application wants to share itself (the current tab) in which case a "pick whatever you want" prompt could result in sharing more information than is required, which is not necessarily good for security or privacy.

For example: sharing presentation slides integrated into the web app that does presentation slides. This app does not need the user to share their entire screen, increasing the possibly sensitive surfaces exposed.

Having a "share this tab" is also good for user flow in an application that is self-contained and does not interact with the rest of the user's system.
