Re: [w3c/manifest] Remove the default value for start_url (#670)

Yeah, in the non-PWA case, we use the document URL, but we also do that when there is no manifest whatsoever.

I think we can consider that to be just ignoring the manifest, rather than honouring the current language that says to use the document URL. Note that the manifest spec says: "The `start_url` member is purely advisory, and a user agent MAY ignore it or provide the end-user the choice not to make use of it." So even if we deleted the language around the document URL being the default start URL, Chrome can still use the document URL in the non-PWA case.
