[whatwg] The behaviour of Notification.requestPermission() in Workers

[Andrew Wilson]

Agreed with Anne - I don't see the value in exposing a non-functional
requestPermission().

Certainly on Chrome (which only allows invoking requestPermission in the
context of user input to prevent abuse) we would be unlikely to support
requestPermission() from workers, at least unless we decide to change that
behavior.
