For security reasons, the
showOpenFilePicker(),
showSaveFilePicker() and
showDirectoryPicker() web APIs
require a prior user gesture ("transient activation") to be called or will
otherwise fail.
With this policy set, admins can specify origins on which these APIs can be
called without prior user gesture.
