Re: [w3c/manifest] Breaking: Change requirement to block off-scope navigation. (#701)

Dom and I have been talking and want to proceed with this. We're getting a lot of requests to fix our broken navigation within PWAs.

Chrome has already implemented this on Android, and we're committed to changing our Desktop implementation to match. However, none of the other major browsers do this. So we need a commitment from at least one other browser (Edge, Firefox, Safari) before we land this. @boyofgreen @marcoscaceres @davidquesada please give us your thoughts.

As we've discussed on #646, even though this change breaks the existing spec (which other browsers — including Chrome on Desktop — are implementing), what we're really doing is bringing PWAs in line with normal HTML navigations. Currently, user agents following the Manifest spec are forced to break the normal behaviour of target=self links on existing websites.
