Target: 43-x-y
Backport of #53666
See that PR for details. The new specs use this branch's clipboard._writeFilesForTesting() helper to place a file on the clipboard.
Notes: File System Access permission requests and the file-system-access-restricted event are scoped to the requesting document, grants are reset when the origin's last page closes, and write access works in in-memory sessions.
