Backport of #53656

See that PR for details. The Chromium patch is regenerated against M150 (HidService::RequestDevice differs); the session.md wording change is applied to this branch's shorter permission list.

Notes: Fixed session.setPermissionCheckHandler receiving the top-level origin and a null webContents for hid and usb checks made from a subframe.
