A doorhanger seems like overkill here.  Making this conditional on an
"engagement gesture" seems about right.  I don't believe that we
should be worry about surfing - and interacting with - strange sites
while there is something precious on the clipboard.

"Ask forgiveness, not permission" seems about the right balance here.
If we can find a way to revoke permission for a site that abuses the
privilege, that's better.  (Adding this to about:permissions with a
default on state seems about right, which leads me to think that we
need the same for the fullscreen thing.)
