[Mozilla Enterprise] Inquiry: Exceptions for policy.json regarding blocking websites from playing sound

[Mike Kaply]

I've added this to Firefox recently and it will be in Firefox 74/Firefox
68.6.

You can test it in Nightly:

{
  "policies": {
    "Permissions": {
      "Autoplay": {
        "Allow": ["https://example.org"],
        "Block": ["https://example.edu"],
        "Locked": true | false
      },
    }
  }
}
