Re: [manifest] Resolve start_url against manifest URL (#330)

I guess app stores will need to digest manifests hosted within application's origin. The problem here is that there's no mechanism for telling the UA "hey, now install the app whose manifest is here: https://myapp.com/manifest.json"
So the app store would need to redirect the UA to the apps start page (possibly start_url) so that the manifest is ingested from the <link> element.
