Extension Docs: Details on valid optional permissions is incomplete

Reported by peter.m....@gmail.com, Mar 15 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 65.0.3325.162
OS Version: OS X 10.13.2
URLs (if applicable) : https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/permissions
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari: N/A
    Firefox: N/A
    IE/Edge: N/A

I am reporting a content bug on https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/permissions

I clicked on “Report a content bug” in the footer and it brought me here with the “Defect on Mac OS” template.

This list looks incomplete:

```
You can specify any of the following as optional permissions:

host permissions
background
bookmarks
clipboardRead
clipboardWrite
contentSettings
contextMenus
cookies
debugger
history
idle
management
notifications
pageCapture
tabs
topSites
webNavigation
webRequest
```

I believe "downloads" should be in there too, right? Also it’d be really nice if those permissions were all links to their resulting documentation.

Status: Untriaged (was: Unconfirmed)
Able to reproduce the issue on Mac 10.13.3, Win-10 and Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome reported version #65.0.3325.162 and latest canary #67.0.3371.0.
This is a non-regression issue as it is observed from M60 old builds. 
Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Yeah, this list does appear incomplete.  Crystal, can we update this?

Tested the issue on mac 10.13.3, win-10 and ubuntu 17.10 using chrome version #67.0.3394.0 as per comment #0.
Attached a screen cast for reference.
Did not find any permissions as listed in comment #0 after navigating to https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/permissions.
Clicked on the link "Learn more: Declaring permissions" at https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/permissions and was able to find some permissions under "The following table lists the currently available permissions:". Also the permissions were all links to their resulting documentation.

crystallambert@ - Could you please check the attached screen cast and please let us know if it is the expected behaviour and help us in verifying the fix.

Thanks...!!

@6 This is a bug about our public documentation, rather than Chrome's functionality.  No need to verify the fix in a particular build of chrome.
