[Feature Request] Ability to control permission requests programmatically for StageWebView

[itlancer]

Feature Description

AIR should have ability to control permission requests programmatically with StageWebView for Windows. Essential for modern WebView2 implementation with <UseWebView2>true</UseWebView2> in application descriptor.

Right now it not possible programmatically to grant or deny permission request to use Camera/Microphone/... via website with StageWebView. It could be done only manually by user. In many cases it not acceptable. Especially for retail kiosks where is no user.

I think it could be implemented with StageWebView and PermissionEvent. If AS3 code handle such PermissionEvent for StageWebView it should have a method to grant or deny permission request by code. If it doesn't handle - default permission prompt for user should be shown.

Useful functionality for other platforms too.

Actually it necessary for other platforms too. For Android it could be implemented like described here (but we haven't access to WebView objects inside AIR): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40659198/how-to-access-the-camera-from-within-a-webview

I am experiencing the same issue on Android when using JavaScript getUserMedia inside a StageWebView. It's really frustrating because I lost an important project due to this limitation. @ajwfrost Do you have any idea when this feature might be implemented?
