Adds "togglemicrophone", "toggle camera", and "hangup" actions to the existing Media Session API. This will enable developers of video conferencing websites to handle these actions from browser UI. For example, if the user puts their video call into a picture-in-picture window, the browser could display buttons for mute/unmute, turnon/turnoff camera, and hang up. When the user clicks these, the website handles them through the Media Session API.
