[mediacapture-screen-share] Should calling getDisplayMedia() consume transient activation? (#324)

eladalon1983 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-screen-share:

== Should calling getDisplayMedia() consume transient activation? ==
While discussing #322, the question came up of whether gDM should consume the transient activation which it requires. At first glance, this seems reasonable:
- There might be some potential attacks that could be mitigated here.
- I cannot immediately think of legitimate reasons to allow the activation to be used for anything in addition to gDM. All use cases I can presently imagine would require a new activation **after** the user finishes their interaction with the gDM-dialog, which is exactly why we produced #322.

My intuition here is that this is at least non-harmful, so let's do it. Can you think of any novel devil's advocate's arguments **against** making this change, @youennf, @jan-ivar?
