[w3c/manifest] beforeinstallprompt : Prompting user makes it to hard to discern whether the user truly wanted to "install" a web app (#835)

Prompting the user to "install" a website (via `beforeinstallprompt`) makes it hard to tell whether the user actually wanted to save the website for later use, or the user just wanted to pass through the prompts encountered before using / while the web app.

If we're trying to gate any feature only to installed apps, then it goes directly against the goal of differentiating websites that the user trusts; by the virtue of eagerly asking the user to install an app, we've decreased the likelihood that the user intentionally did so.
