Re: [w3c/manifest] Remove sizes from icons? (#997)

As @EiraGe mentioned, Chrome on Android downloads precisely one icon - the best fit icon - and uses the `sizes` member to determine which one that should be in order to minimize network usage.

As @NotWoods says, having `sizes` also allows the browser to fast fail if there is no icon available that meets installation requirements, rather than having to download all of them and check.

And as @kenchris says, `sizes` is particularly helpful for specifying when SVG icons should be used and when more pixel-optimised icons should be used (which is difficult to infer directly from the intrinsic size data of the icon).
