Summary
Adds a "launch_handler" app manifest member that enables web apps to
customise their launch behaviour across all types of app launch triggers.
Example usage: { "name": "Example app", "start_url": "/index.html",
"launch_handler": { "route_to": "existing", "navigate_existing_client":
"always" } } This will cause all launches of the Example app to focus an
existing app window and navigate it (if it exists) instead of always
launching a new app window.

Web developers: Strong positive signals on the Declarative Link Capturing
origin trial
<https://developer.chrome.com/origintrials/#/view_trial/4285175045443026945>
which
has overlapping behaviour with this API (which is replacing DLC).
Goals for experimentation
Replace the Declarative Link Capturing
<https://github.com/WICG/sw-launch/blob/main/declarative_link_capturing.md>
API experiment and gather feedback on the "navigate_existing_client":
"never" behaviour as it gets an implementation.
Ongoing technical constraints
Overlap with the Declarative Link Capturing origin trial
<https://developer.chrome.com/origintrials/#/view_trial/4285175045443026945> to
enable existing clients to migrate over to this new API.
