Re: [w3c/manifest] Remove beforeinstallprompt and appinstalled events. (#836)

@marcoscaceres, if what you are saying is that browsers will handle PWAs as they see fit, I agree.  I don't consider that a good outcome.

For example, on IOS there is an incantation (several incantations, depending on your precise arrangement) but **only** if your browser is Safari.  Each other OS has a very specific, and different, set of options.  We must maneuver through these, guiding our users as best we can.

"Installation" is more than just a matter of putting a button on your desktop.  Both Chrome and Safari respect the Manifest differently on an "installed Web App" versus a regular web page.  The uninstalled version tends to overflow the screen because of a bunch of browser control buttons and orientation (critical to our App) is uncontrolled.  On a phone, with its tiny real estate, the difference in user experience is huge.
