Re: [w3c/manifest] Is prefer_related_applications too simplistic? (#365)

I consider this a limitation in the spec.

If a site prefers its Android app but not its Windows Store app there's no way for it to express it.
If `prefer_related_applications` is `true` then the browser won't promote PWA installation on Windows despite it being the preferred experience.
if `prefer_related_applications` is `false` then the browser will promote PWA installation on Android despite it being an inferior experience.

This can be improved upon by adding an optional boolean field to the [ExternalApplicationResource](https://www.w3.org/TR/appmanifest/#externalapplicationresource-and-its-members) dict which if unset falls back to the value of `prefer_related_applications`.
