Re: [manifest] Ability to define platform-specific icon/splash style (#361)

Server-side? Ewww :(

Server-side solution is favouring incumbents and it's hostile to new platforms, because any new platform won't be recognised by all existing sites.

OTOH if the solution was declarative, then the UA could make a decision which of available styles is the closest fallback, so if somebody makes "ShinyRounded OS" tomorrow, it'll be able to fall back to iOS icons without having to fake an iOS User-Agent.

```
icons: [{
        "src": "a.png",
        "theme": "material"
      },{
        "src": "b.png",
        "theme": "ios-flat"
      }]
```

and have UA pick the theme it wants. Because the UA picks the theme, you don't even have to define which values are valid (just define which one is the default).
