Title: use apps/installed_apps.json instead of a hardcoded list of apps

Currently, the installed application list is hardcoded in webapi.js, and `manifest.webapp` files aren’t read. This patch aims to:

* store / read the application installation information in `apps/installed_apps.json` until we come up with a better solution (mozApps);
* really use `manifest.webapp` files to get the startup URL, application name, etc.

The goal is to make it easier to add bookmark applications, and to come up with a more acceptable hack before JSConf. This patch isn’t ready yet, I’m submitting it a bit early in case somebody can suggest a better approach.
