[w3ctag/design-reviews] TAG review for making app updates more predictable, `update_token` (Issue #1076)

Dp-Goog created an issue (w3ctag/design-reviews#1076)

こんにちは TAG-さん!

I'm requesting an early TAG design review of predictable app updating.

The design proposes a way to have PWAs fully update their identities in a safe and resourceful manner, to further bridge the gap between PWAs and native apps. This is done by updating the [manifest spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/appmanifest/#web-application-manifest) to have a specific field for making updates more deterministic by the developer, and for providing a consistent experience. The proposal attempts to do so in a way that:

- Uses less resources, making network usage more efficient.
- Prevent user confusion by showing the update UX less often.
