Re: [manifest] A way to link to related applications (#326)

I still have two concerns:
* the discussions around ```related_applications``` did not provide a way for the developers to say that they would prefer their web app to be installed instead of a native app.
* is anyone except for Chrome interested by that feature? Given that it is fine per Manifest rules to extend the Manifest, if Chrome is the only browser interested to do anything with this, maybe it should stay a chrome property?

Regarding the first question, what about having ```preferred_platforms``` that would accept ```web``` as an entry:
```js
"preferred_platforms": [{
  "vendor": "play",
  "id": "foobar"
}, {
  "vendor": "web"
}]
```

It would put the Play Store application above the Web version of the app if installation had to happen. WDYT?
