Drop own powerful feature, require active local video source.

Fixes w3c#79.

The idea is that, based on the research on potential attacks on the Ambient
Light Sensor API, it is important to prompt users before allowing access to
illuminance readouts. This was already mandated by the main Generic Sensors
spec, as `Sensor.start()` runs the "Request sensor access" abstract
operation.

The challenge with the Ambient Light Sensor API is prompting users in a way
that they understand what they are being prompted for; the assumption is
that most users are not familiar with what an Ambient Light sensor is.

We have chosen to solve this issue by dropping our "ambient-light-sensor"
powerful feature name altogether and integrating with the Media Capture and
Streams specification instead: we consider an Ambient Light Sensor to be a
1x1 camera and require there to be at least one local video source that is
not muted or stopped in order for illuminance readouts to be provided.

Per the Media Capture and Streams specification, this is only possible if
script has called `MediaDevices.getUserMedia()` and granted the "camera"
permission. This also means the User Agent has at least indicated to the
user that a local video source has started being used.

In other words, an Ambient Light Sensor only provides readings if a local
video source (such as a camera) is currently active and being used in the
same window as the AmbientLightSensor instance, and when all local video
sources stop we also stop providing readouts and fire an "error" with a
NotReadableError exception.

+Active local video source requirement {#local-video-source-requirement}
+-----
+
+Many of the attacks on Ambient Light sensors referenced above rely on being
+able to access illuminance readouts for a certain amount of time without a user
+being aware that the data is being read.
+
+[[STEALINGSENSITIVEDATA]] and [[ALSPRIVACYANALYSIS]] specifically recommend
+requesting user permission before allowing access to illuminance readouts as a
+privacy measure. On the other hand, it can be argued that conveying to users
+what an Ambient Light Sensor is so that they can make an informed choice to
+grant or deny access to it can be difficult.
+
+What this specification does instead is consider an Ambient Light Sensor to be
+a 1x1 grayscale camera, integrate with the [[MEDIACAPTURE-STREAMS]]
+specification and require there to be at least one local video [=source=] that
+is not [=muted=] or [=stopped=] in order for illuminance readouts to be
+provided. In other words, an Ambient Light Sensor only provides readings if a
+local video source (such as a camera) is currently active and being used in the
+same window as the {{AmbientLightSensor}} instance.
+
+Per the [[MEDIACAPTURE-STREAMS]] specification, this is only possible if script
+has called {{MediaDevices/getUserMedia()}} and granted the <a
+permission>"camera"</a> permission. This also means the User Agent has at least
+indicated to the user that a local video source has started being used as per
+[[MEDIACAPTURE-STREAMS#privacy-indicator-requirements]].
+
+The goal of this model is to treat an Ambient Light Sensor as potentially as
+invasive as an actual camera device and subject it to the same strict privacy
+requirements together with the Generic Sensor mitigations described in
+[[GENERIC-SENSOR#security-and-privacy]] and the other Ambient Light
+Sensor-specific measures described in this section.
