Re: [w3c/manifest] Icon purpose "splashscreen" and splashscreen text (#844)

> A new member with alternatives (i.e. animated icon , animation duration) to include in splashscreen would be good especially to get closer to native apps.

Thanks @lauramorinigo. The problem that we run into here - when dealing with any assets and animation timing - is that we risk creating a new layout/markup language inside the manifest. 

Ideally, that anything that requires layout and animation would be handled by a HTML/CSS/JS in the `"start_url"`. This is the same as in native apps (e.g., in iOS), whereby one just uses a standard "view controller" to lay out their splash screen (e.g., [1]). Ideally, the resources for "start_url" are already cached in a service worker, so when the app starts, the engine can quickly compose and render the page exactly as the app creator intended.
