Re: [w3c/manifest] IDL: Make name required (#622)

Looks like this was already litigated in 2013: #24 

I think the issue is that we don't want to drastically error out if there's no name, but we still want to "require" it in what we consider a "valid" manifest. (Similar to how HTML `<title>` is technically required, but obviously agents still display a document if it's present.)

@marcoscaceres Perhaps you can define this better in the new parser that you're working on. The "correct" thing to do here is to a) define a "valid" manifest, and b) define the user agent behaviour if the manifest is invalid, which may not be fatal; e.g., we may still accept a manifest that has no name but the site may not be installable.
