*****
Service Workers

One of the central pieces of the new Gaia architecture is the use of service workers. This isn't just to support offline for gaia apps, but also to support dynamic generation of page markup, and the ability to run logic in order to decide what resource to return for a given URL.

In order to make service workers work with the package update logic we should couple package update with service worker update. When the ServiceWorker spec require the browser to check for updates of, or download updates of, the ServiceWorker script, we instead update the full signed package.

This means that both when we do an "automatic" ServiceWorker update check, such as when the user visit a page which uses the ServiceWorker, and when the ServiceWorkerRegistration.update() function is called, that we update the full package rather than just the ServiceWorker script.

Once a new package has been downloaded, we go through the normal ServiceWorker update cycle. I.e. Gecko fire both "install" and "activate" events on the ServiceWorker. This will happen any time that a package is updated, even if the contents of the ServiceWorker script hasn't changed.

Gecko need to still serve the previous package content until the "activate" event for the new ServiceWorker version fires. I.e. until the new version has been installed, the old version of the package needs to be served for any network requests.
