RE: [Pick Contacts Web Intent] Extend CfC for 'remove search' to 22 October

I think Bryan's use case is compelling.  Was dropping this in response to Web Intents dropping the extras field?  That was just because the extras can easily be migrated into the data field.  This spec isn't using the data field as input so it's easy to use it for describing the request.

I think the data passed in should include:
requiredFields - don't return contact information that doesn't have values for all of these fields (field names come from 5.1.1) and only return the fields listed
optionalFields - also return these values for these fields if available,  but don't fail if no values (field names come from 5.1.1) - only fields in either  requiredFields or optionalFields are returned
valueContainsFilter - array or pairs of fields and values where only contacts where those fields contains those values are returned
limit - max number of records returned  

The data returned in 5.1.1 are only the fields listed above and only for contact records that match the requirements (required fields and required values).

That prevents having to dump lots of contacts back to the client and having search there.  So passes only the information that it needs to pass back.  And tells the contacts service what data it wants.

Example: the client can ask for contacts that contain "Smith" in the name field and that have an email address - only the name and email address are returned.  The user is asked if it is OK to return what was found.

Not having any of that doesn't seem good.   It leaves the user having to figure out what the client app needs.
