[w3c/manifest] No language/direction metadata for shortcuts? (Issue #1078)

1.1.4 Creating shortcuts 
https://w3c.github.io/manifest/#creating-shortcuts

Multiple examples are provided of creating a "shortcut" in a manifest. Here is one such:

```
  "shortcuts": [
    {
      "name": "Play Later",
      "description": "View the list of podcasts you saved for later",
      "url": "/play-later",
      "icons": [
        {
          "src": "/icons/play-later.svg",
          "type": "image/svg+xml"
        }
      ]
    },
```

The `name` and `description` fields do not have their own `lang` and `dir` values nor does the "shortcut" structure have the ability to provide an override. The whole manifest does have a `lang` and `dir`, but this doesn't allow for separate localizations nor for local overrides of the values. I18N normally recommends the ability to provide a local override when there is file-level metadata.

This design also suggests that some language is more privileged than all others or that large sections of the file must be repeated in order to localize the full experience described by the manifest.
