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

Hmm. #668 which I am trying to solve is working towards having the manifest not depend on the document for processing.

I would rather not spec that the manifest's name falls back to the document. That is even more of a dependency on the document than we have now, which moves us away from being able to say "install this manifest" (without being in a document).

I'm happy to keep a MAY that says the user agent can get stuff from the document. As discussed on #834, that's unavoidable given that user agents invent an entire manifest if installing a page without one, but I want to keep that as a user agent feature, and have the core manifest processing algorithm not rely on a document.
