Allow file or directory picker APIs to be called without prior user gesture

If you enable this policy, admins can specify origins on which these APIs can be called without prior user gesture. For detailed information on valid URL patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. * isn't an accepted value for this policy. If you disable or don't configure this policy, all origins will require a prior user gesture to call these APIs. Example value: https://www.example.com [*.]example.edu
