Re: [w3c/manifest] Privacy Review: handle start_url tracking (#399)

That is indeed tricky. Because does a user understand what the difference is between "resetting everything" and "a re-install"? I'm literally not sure *I* do, especially if (as in Option 2) we are going to give explicit guidance that the installation process is likely to include personalized state. I think user options to "clear local state" that don't clear known state mechanisms is a dangerous direction. That's why I think we should be prepared to give an answer for how an implementer can clear all local state, including uninstalling or triggering the re-install for an app.
