[w3ctag/design-reviews] shortcuts member of Web App Manifest (#510)

Hello TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of shortcuts member of Web App Manifest.

A number of operating systems offer a means by which authors add menu items to the app launcher icon itself. These provide quick access to key tasks for an app. Typically, these are exposed via a right click, long tap, or a similar context menu-triggering action. The list of shortcut actions often contains a mixture of static and dynamic shortcuts. Generally these number around 4–5, depending on the platform—or in the case of Android, the launcher—used. Adding these to the web platform provides an equivalent capability to native apps on many platforms.
