[mediacapture-main] How to interact with a device without a fixed capability? (#1027)

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

== How to interact with a device without a fixed capability? ==
Some of the devices, especially virtual camera, have variable capabilities. For example, virtual cameras can set their resolution almost arbitrary. So that, their capabilities will also be variable.

In this situation, how to interact with them using Web APIs? As an example, the following code will match a virtual camera and get the video stream from it?

```JavaScript
const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
    video: {
        width: 1920, height: 1080
    }
})
```

FYI, it seems that some virtual cameras software cannot set their device capabilities limited by OS. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/10263#issuecomment-2587070563
