Re: [w3c/manifest] Proposal: Add Optional Member for IARC Rating (#523)

Resurfacing the original proposal:

`"iarc_rating": "opaque_string",`

When a developer submits their app to one of the stores, they fill-out a questionnaire as @kenchris  mentions.  The developer gets an opaque string that references the rating results calculated from their answers to the questions in the questionnaire.  If a developer wants to submit their app to another store, the developer can just share the opaque string that they received from the first store and not have to fill-out the questionnaire again.

My intent in proposing an `iarc_rating` member is for the developer to be able to communicate that they have completed the questionnaire and the opaque string is a reference to the results of the developer completing the questionnaire.  

You can imagine a scenario where a tool like [PWA Builder](http://www.pwabuilder.com/generator) could help a developer complete the IARC questionnaire and then the `iarc_rating` member would be a place in the Manifest to store the results of the developer completing that questionnaire so the developer could submit their PWA to [various stores](https://www.globalratings.com/about.aspx#participants) without having to complete the IARC questionnaire for each store.
