Add UMA metric to record result of ChromeShortcutManager#canAddShortcutToHomescreen()

Project Member Reported by pkotw...@chromium.org, Apr 28 2017 
During last week's weekly meeting Owen mentioned that it might be useful to add a UMA metric to record how many users have devices with a launcher which does not support home screen shortcuts

Owen: I am unsure about the usefulness of this metric.

If:
- a web page meets the PWA criteria
- and WebAPKs are enabled
- and the user is on a Play device
we can create a WebAPK for the user even if the launcher does not support homescreen shortcuts.
However, the user won't get either a WebAPK or a homescreen shortcut if they tap "add-to-homescreen" and the web page does not meet the PWA criteria.

Perhaps this is useful in the context of our effort to make the "add to homescreen menu item" more fancy https://gallery.googleplex.com/projects/MCHbtQVoQ2HCZXcbH_a9Co_b/files/MCEqE9t88uInT_8TwksuNWL7

Owen, what do you think?
