Spec should mention that EME is not expected to work outside of MSE #335

Currently the only browser that supports EME in non-MSE video is Chrome for WebM only. It doesn't seem like there's demand for EME in non-MSE video, so I propose that the spec mentions somewhere that EME is not expected to work outside of MSE video.

EME is designed to be independent of the source, and it's possible some third source type could emerge in the future, so I don't think the spec should make any normative statements. However, I think it could be helpful to authors and implementers to have an informative non-normative statement.

There was already a note to this effect in the HTMLMediaElement extensions section. PR #344 makes this more prominent.
