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

What I think that we will do:

1. Allow packaging of local apps (from local source repo) which fulfills the requirement of start_url being same origin
2. Allow packaging "hosted apps" by pointing our packaging tool to an url containing a manifest.json or referring to one.
3. Allow packaging "hosted apps" by supplying a separate manifest.json (thus, not fulfilling the start_url requirement). In this case we will only consider the start_url, title and icon fields, and apps will basically launch in an existing browser (ie display-mode: browser). Basically a regular link to a web site.
