"Forget By Default" feature

[pes10k]

1. Brave should have a storage setting in shields that clears first-party data automatically when browsing away from a site
2. Brave should give users a convenient way to “opt-into” a site remembering them (instead of making it the default)
3. This overall “forget by default” feature should be opt-in, though we should build things in a way that would allow us to "nudge" users in cases where they are using a site they might want to maintain storage on (i.e., hint to users they might want to opt-in)
4. There's a timeout of 30 seconds after site close before data is cleared.

Spec is available in #specs in Slack: https://bravesoftware.slack.com/archives/CELA35G5S/p1666392931428619

Current state (1.54.x)

FBD is implemented as a separate toggle in Brave Shields UI:

UI "nudge" part is moved here -> #31200

[goodov]

@kjozwiak the core part we're about to enable in nightly does this:

Adds a new option to the cookie block policy dropdown in Shields popup and on brave://settings/shields page. PR description has a video: brave/brave-core#16470 (comment)

When this option is selected, website data (cookies, storages) will be removed after 30 seconds the website is closed.

[LaurenWags]

@brave/qa-team this should be tested at the same time as #30090 / brave/brave-core#18331 since the test plan is the same.

As mentioned at the beginning of the issue, the following runs through Test Case #2 & Test Case #3 from #30090 (comment).

Test Case from #30090 (comment)

• visit https://www.gmail.com/ and log into the website (ensure that passwords credentials are saved)
• once you're logged in, ensure that you have a google.com entry within Site Settings -> All sites
• enable Forget me when I close this site on https://www.gmail.com/ via the shields panel

• The above case is similar to Test Case above that was done above re: enabling the feature via Settings and then disabling it per site via the shields panel and ensuring that FB was not executed/removed cookies/local storage etc..

Test Case from #30090 (comment)

• visit https://permission.site/ and enable both the Camera & Microphone permissions
• ensure that until I close this site is selected for both Camera & Microphone
• close https://permission.site/ and wait ~30s
• re-open https://permission.site/ and ensure that the permissions have been reset
• both Camera & Microphone shouldn't be highlighted green (they should have been reset)
