[w3c/manifest] permissions (#686)

Asking permissions one by one is annoying to the user. We have done A/B testing, users are less likely to award permissions if asked individually because they just consider it an annoyance.  The individual permission based system for websites is not suitable for installed or about to be installed webapps. We ask for all permissions related to the app, in the beginning of install process of our app. It is smooth, and provides a much better experience. In our android app, we ask for camera access, microphone access, location access, notification, reading sms etc in one go. 

When the user is installing an app, they should be able to award all permissions to the app in one go like a respectable native app. This is necessary, because we have significant amount of people declining permission and complaining that app does not work. For example when the user expects to order food in our app, we have to explain the user why the permission is needed. Instead of reading, they just close the app and restart it.
