WebHID API browser support

The WebHID API lets a web app request access to non-standard Human Interface Devices through navigator.hid.requestDevice(), filtered by vendor ID, and exchange input, output, and feature reports with them. requestDevice() resolves with an array of the HID interfaces the chosen device exposes (empty when the user closes the picker), and a device must be opened with open() before sendReport() succeeds; calling it on a closed device rejects with InvalidStateError.

The table covers navigator.hid.requestDevice() and the core HID interface, derived from MDN browser-compat-data.
