MediaSession: setCameraActive() method

The setCameraActive() method of the MediaSession interface is used to indicate to the user agent whether the user’s camera is considered to be active.

Call this method on the navigator object’s mediaSession object.

Note that the status of the camera is not tracked in the MediaSession itself, but must be tracked separately.
