Storage Buckets API

[ayuishii]

HIQaH! QaH! TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of Storage Buckets API.

The core of the proposal is granting sites the ability to create multiple storage buckets, where the user agent may choose to delete each bucket independently of other buckets. By contrast, today's user agents have a binary choice of either persisting or deleting all the data stored by a site.
