Wouldn't this break the intended behavior for ports who set only RequireUserGestureForFullscreenRestriction?  (Not that there necessarily are any, but...)  I'm just saying that this change could introduce all kinds of unintended side-effects, not just for the current set of restrictions, but especially if any are added in the future.

Plus, isn't it a bit weird that, with this change, causing a load with a user gesture will clear the full screen restriction, but actually clicking a full screen button won't?
