Upstream Document PiP changes to "fullscreen is supported"

[vinhill]

I think it makes sense to merge this after whatwg/html#12397 because Is Document Picture-in-Picture is currently not exported.

• At least two implementers are interested (and none opposed):
  • Gecko
  • ...
• Tests are written and can be reviewed and commented upon at:
  • https://wpt.fyi/results/document-picture-in-picture/pip-fullscreen.https.html
• Implementation bugs are filed:
  • Chromium: already shipped
  • Gecko: already shipped
  • WebKit: open standard position Document Picture in Picture API WebKit/standards-positions#41
• MDN issue is filed: ...
• The top of this comment includes a clear commit message to use.

Fixes #258

This seems to be an issue with the Spec Generator service. PR Preview doesn't manage this service and so has no control over it. If you've identified an issue with it, you can report the issue to the maintainers of Spec Generator directly. Please be courteous. Thank you!

If you don't have enough information above to solve the error by yourself or if the issue doesn't seem related to Spec Generator, you can file an issue with PR Preview.

WebKit will likely be opposed to this: WebKit/standards-positions#41 (comment). We don't think this is a good direction for the web and also believe that many of the main use cases driving this could be addressed by enhancements to the Media Session API.

I also think OP is a tad misleading as my understanding is that neither Chromium nor Gecko supports this API on mobile.
