new manifest spec from w3c

After our config.xml woe I am extremely suspicious of this traveling
anywhere other than the email servers of the standards world but worth
keeping an eye on:

http://w3c.github.io/manifest/

I'd rather adopt node packages as the right way to compose apps and just go
w/ package.json

(Just thinking out loud, I agree we should just let this sit for a while)

I kinda feel like the manifest linked here is a subset of the functionality
cordova app manifest will need.  Theres also a bootstrap problem that web
apps define a manifest with a <link> tag.

Quick strawman: Perhaps we add to config.xml support for <app-manifest
src="www/manifest.json"> and then read from that things like app name,
icons, orientation, start_url.., but leave config.xml generally as-is for
now?
