Install links for websites: frame-control://install

A site can link to frame-control://install?manifest=URL (or ?url=URL) to
install a title with Frame Control. Manifests use FrameDrop's format, so
framedrop.install/v1 is accepted as well as frame-control.install/v1.

- app/install-link.js parses links; main.js registers the scheme (plus
  electron-builder protocols for Info.plist and the .desktop file), takes
  links from open-url, second-instance argv and the first argv, and holds
  them until the page asks for them through preload's onInstallLink.
- ui/frame_webinstall.py checks the URLs (HTTPS only; localhost over http
  only when the link itself is local; no userinfo; every address public,
  rechecked on redirects and pinned for the connection), reads the
  manifest, downloads with a size cap and sha256 check, and dispatch()
  sends .apk to frame_android and .zip/.exe to frame_titles when present.
- server.py adds /api/webinstall/check, start, job and cancel behind the
  existing Host and X-Frame-UI guards; a start needs a one-time id from
  check. Downloads stop on cancel and on shutdown, and leftovers from a
  killed server are swept by PID.
- index.html asks before anything downloads (name, source host, file,
  type, size, whether a sha256 was given) and shows progress.
- docs/web-install.md, docs/install.html (landing page, unpublished).
