[mediacapture-region] Is BrowserCaptureMediaStreamTrack needed? (#10)

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

== Is BrowserCaptureMediaStreamTrack needed? ==
BrowserCaptureMediaStreamTrack is used for two purposes:
1. Make sure cloning does not clone the captured region
2. Restrict cropTo exposure to BrowserCaptureMediaStreamTrack
3. Make sure cloning produces a track that has a cropTo method.

1 seems unnecessary looking at the current clone algorithm.
3 is unnecessary, at least if we think 2 is not needed. Probably it is unnecessary given that CanvasCaptureMediaStreamTrack clone is a CanvasCaptureMediaStreamTrack and does not expose a dedicated clone method. 

The question is then whether it is better to expose cropTo at MediaStreamTrack or at BrowserCaptureMediaStreamTrack level.
I am not sure BrowserCaptureMediaStreamTrack is worth it for the sole purpose of exposing cropTo, we are anyway exposing https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-screen-share/#displaycapturesurfacetype.
