Re: [manifest] Convert "Icon object" into a generic "image object" (#327)

Splash screens can be done by simply changing the concept of "icon object" to "image object":
https://github.com/w3c/manifest/pull/325 

Roughly:
{
  "icons":  [{"src": "..."}, {"src": "..."} ],
  "splashscreens": [{"src": "..."}, {"src": "..."} ],
  "theme_color": "green"
}

The theme_color can serve as the background for a splash screen. The splash image can just be centered in the middle of the screen. That should cater for most use cases. Fancier cases can be handled on document load (e.g., show a loading indicator as splash, then when first page loads, do some fancy animation).
