Re: [w3c/manifest] Describe the manifest data structure (#611)

@marcoscaceres Do you think you'll proceed with converting this to a JSON schema type thing (and not IDL)? We have clients trying to use our `ImageResource` dict which means now is a good inflection point to decide either a) it's OK to use dicts from Manifest in other parts of the web platform, or b) no, these are specific to the Manifest format and can't be used in JS APIs.

I still think that being able to use them in other JS APIs is a good thing (reuse of those definitions, instead of having to define parallel dicts in two different languages), but if you want to change over to another language, we should do so before others start depending on it.

(I'm also hesitant about this specific usage, in Background Fetch, since the ImageResources used there are unrelated to the ones we use in Manifest.)
