Re: [manifest] Integration with service workers (#161)

I think that specifying service workers in the app manifest might make the following scenario possible:

- A marketplace / app-store providing a service worker for app installation, without the need for the user to run the web app / visit the "web page" first, assuming the manifest is at a specific path (a "convention over configuration" approach by the marketplace)

The point would be to move from page bookmarking to a more de-facto standardised app installation, like packaged apps, and to cache resources / initialise the app during the installation, instead of when launching it.

I guess this is related to #340 (hosted apps) as well.
