WebVR apps don't work from PWA "Add to Home screen" link

Project Member Reported by klausw@chromium.org, Mar 13 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 59.0.3040.0 (Canary)
OS: Android

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) go to a WebVR site such as https://webvr.info/samples/03-vr-presentation.html
(2) ⋮ menu -> Add to Home screen
(3) exit Chrome
(4) tap the newly added Home screen icon

What is the expected result?

WebVR APIs available, putting device in Daydream View headset starts VR presentation.

What happens instead?

no "Enter VR" button, putting device in Daydream View launches the Daydream home application. Other sites may be using the WebVR polyfill with degraded performance.

Summary: WebVR apps don't work from PWA "Add to Home screen" link (was: WebVR apps don't work from "Add to Home screen" link)
According to https://crbug.com/691812#c18:
* Home screen icons may be PWAs or not (opens as normal Chrome tab). This bug refers to the former.
* PWAs use WebAppActivity and not CCT ( issue 688611 ).

Thus, I have changed the summary and re-opened this issue.
