Implement updates to HTML Media Capture spec

Project Member Reported by mscales@chromium.org, Oct 9 2017

Issue description

The latest version of the HTML Media Capture spec (https://www.w3.org/TR/html-media-capture/) specifies that a developer can give the |capture| attribute a value of "user" or "environment" to set a preference for which camera should be used when capturing an image.

This is supported in the latest Safari.

 
Components: Blink>ImageCapture

This was discussed in  https://crbug.com/698853  and concluded there, PTAL and
shout if surprised.
To make sure I understand correctly: this is NOT implemented because Android doesn't really support it?

#2: HTML Media Capture is only implemented for Android, so updating the
code to match the spec would only makes sense if Android would support
it, which it doesn't.

rijubrata.bhaumik@intel.com would you like to comment further?
#3: Yes. We are not propagating the String beyond Blink, as Android does not have support.
Hopefully one day, Android guys will fix this:

mcasas@: The implementation is consistent with the spec. The spec considers this situation at:
