Re: [w3c/manifest] Allowing only site-triggered install prompt (#627)

@MatteoWebDesigner @kenchris we're still working on the details, but right now the ambient badge is deliberately decoupled from `beforeinstallprompt`, so it will always show up regardless of whether you capture the event or not. It will become more subtle in the future, but we're quite constrained UX-wise in Chrome for Android right now.

The intention is that sites like Instagram shouldn't need to show their own add to home screen UI, they should just use our `beforeinstallprompt`-driven flow, which now shows a modal.

The ambient badge is a lot more more intrusive than we'd like at the moment, but without it, we can't launch the new modal app install banner, which is more predictable for devs. It's a compromise we're pushing so that developers can stop working around the limitations of the existing banners. And hopefully soon it will become much less intrusive. UI is difficult...
