Summary: Experiment with Web Share API to figure out if the current spec is 
implementable in Gecko/GeckoView. The specification defines an API for sharing 
text, links and other content to an arbitrary destination of the user's choice. 
The available share targets are either OS specific, or can be other websites 
that are registered as "Share Targets". Web-based Share Targets are not in 
scope right now - that's a different spec [1].
