Allow returning a directory with both read and write permissions in a single prompt for the File System Access API. Currently showDirectoryPicker() always returns a read-only directory (after showing a read access prompt), requiring a second permission prompt to get write access. This double-prompt is a poor user experience and contributes to confusion and permission fatigue among users.
Adds an optional "mode" option to DirectoryPickerOptions which can be specified as "read" or "readwrite".
Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
