Bug added to keep track of any decision we make.

Jan-Ivar has proposed that we introduce promises for access using navigator.mediaDevices (while implementations maintain the old call-back approach for navigator.getUserMedia for some time to avoid breaking apps).

As requested, here's an implementation of (just) mediaDevices.getUserMedia with promises to try out. The download link has builds for PC, Mac, Linux and Android. [1]
