MediaEncryptedEvent: MediaEncryptedEvent() constructor

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2019.

The MediaEncryptedEvent constructor creates a new MediaEncryptedEvent object.

Note: In normal cases, you don't need to call this constructor in your code as such events are usually generated by the browser when needed.
