Re: [w3c/manifest] Add note on back button requirements (#687)

Not every app needs a back button, so the _needs_ phrasing in this PR feels quite wrong.

More generally, PWAs should function without the crutch of system-level UI at all. If that means they need to include a back button, they should, and if they don't need one, they shouldn't provide one.

I think there's a bigger and more complex discussion about _duplicate_ back buttons as mentioned on #673 - when both the platform and app provide one. We could introduce new members to deal with this, and I believe @mgiuca is thinking about that. But this change doesn't do anything for that, and seems to amount to advising developers to use UA-detection for their UI which isn't good.
