Applications need to filter content to match the age of the user.

The rating restrictions tend to be location and domain specific without
a common ground for where these groupings should be. Instead
applications provide a range of gates and the implementation returns
which group they are between.

This change is somewhat influenced by the new California law to make
public API available but it's something we want to be pushing for anyway
to allow applications to perform relevant filtering.
