Per [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest MDN]:
> The web app manifest provides information about an application (such as
name, author, icon, and description) in a JSON text file. The purpose of
the manifest is to install web applications to the homescreen of a device,
providing users with quicker access and a richer experience.
>
> Web app manifests are part of a collection of web technologies called
progressive web apps, which are web applications that can be installed to
the homescreen of a device without needing the user to go through an app
store, along with other capabilities such as being available offline and
receiving push notifications.
For populating the manifest:
* `description` can be pulled from the `blogdescription`
* `name` can be pulled from `blogname`.
* `background_color` can be pulled from the `custom-background` theme
support.
* `lang` can be pulled from the site locale.
* `icons` can be pulled from site icons.
A filter can be present for themes and plugins to augment the manifest.
