Here's an initial draft for text on exposing interfaces everywhere. It's similar to the text I wrote in #509 and the examples I gave there.

Closes: #509

I've drafted a set of criteria for which interfaces to expose
universally on all globals, at
w3ctag/design-principles#510.
URLPattern looks like it fits those criteria and is useful to have in
any environment.

We should think some about the [SecureContext] question, but otherwise this looks ready to go in.

@zcorpan Intuitively I disagree with your argument in whatwg/webidl#1119 (comment), at least given the guidance in this PR. The downside of requiring review for every new kind of realm is that when we add a new realm type, there's going to be a long string of paper-cuts as developers reach for various utility functions and notice that they haven't yet been added to this particular realm.
