Make PiP mediaSession Mic and Camera icons always visible

As illustrated in this video, as soon as the user moves the cursor away from the PiP window, the video conferencing icons disappear, and the user doesn't really know the state of the camera.

As a user, I'd rather have the 3 icons visible at all times, but at the very least, to have Mic and Camera icons always visible when Inactive.

It's a reasonable preference, but the inverse is also reasonable; I might not want the icons obscuring my view of the video. It might be more useful to allow the app to decide if these controls are always visible or only on-hover. The app can obtain the user's preference and set the property accordingly.

This sounds like more of an implementation than a spec level issue.

@arnaudbud, thanks for filing this and also for raising it as a Chromium bug.

I'm going to close this as it's implementation specific and dealing with UI (thus outside the scope of the spec).
