Re: [w3c/manifest] Display mode "standalone" inconsistently handled by browsers (#673)

iOS has a global exit command (the Home button), so users will never be _trapped_ in a PWA. They can always exit with Home.

More generally, standalone mode explicitly says `Opens the web application to look and feel like a standalone native application.` It's not the role of the manifest spec to enforce that implementing platforms break their own UX norms. iOS _never_ shows a back button in system-level UI: native application must handle their own back and forward, so a PWA that works well on that platform should be reasonably expected to do the same. It's the developer's prerogative to implement their app in a way that fits the native application model on each platform.
