Re: [w3c/manifest] Add a way to explicitly colour the standalone window's title bar (#695)

Yeah, it's still something I "want" (not sure if "needed", we haven't had explicit developer demand for it).

The idea is that you may want an app with a theme colour, but _not_ a title-bar colour on platforms like Windows, Linux and macOS where windows are not expected to have a title-bar colour. Thus, the app still has its preferred theming in store pages, icons, etc, but windows look "standard" on each platform.

What we have now (at least in the Chrome implementation) is that we forcibly set the window title bar on Win/Lin/macOS to your theme colour, which is actually unusual on those platforms (where I expect the title bar colour to match the system default). Developers have two choices: a) do not set a `theme_color`, thus getting the correct title bar colour on Win/Lin/macOS, but losing the theming elsewhere, or b) set a theme colour and have an overly-colourful app on Win/Lin/macOS.

The proposed explicit `title_bar_color` lets you customize the title bar colour independent of the theme colour.
