Some ServiceWorker operations and methods require normalized URLs.
Previously, the generic `string` type was used.
This commit introduces a new `NormalizedUrl` type, a special kind of
`string`, to make this requirement explicit and use the type system to
enforce it.

In some cases, it is useful to use a relative base href in the app (e.g.
when an app has to be accessible on different URLs, such as on an
intranet and the internet - see #25055 for a related discussion).
Previously, the Angular ServiceWorker was not able to handle relative
base hrefs (for example when building the with `--base-href=./`).
This commit fixes this by normalizing all URLs from the ServiceWorker
configuration wrt the ServiceWorker's scope.
Fixes#25055
PR Close#37922
This is in preparation of enabling the ServiceWorker to handle
relative paths in `ngsw.json` (as discussed in #25055), which will
require normalizing URLs in other parts of the ServiceWorker.

Previously it was not possible to provide `CacheQueryOptions` ([MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Cache)) for querying the Cache.
This commit introduces a new parameter called `cacheQueryOptions` for `DataGroup` and `AssetGroup`.
Currently only `ignoreSearch` is supported as `ignoreVary` and `ignoreMethod` would require using
the complete Request object for matching which is not possible with the current implementation.

In some cases, example when the user clears the caches in DevTools but
the SW remains active on another tab and keeps references to the deleted
caches, trying to write to the cache throws errors (e.g.
`Entry was not found`).
When this happens, the SW can no longer work correctly and should enter
a degraded mode allowing requests to be served from the network.

This commits remedies this situation, by ensuring the SW can enter the
degraded `EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY` mode and forward requests to the
network.

When the SW fetches URLs listed in a manifest with hashes, it checks
the content hash against the manifest to make sure it has the correct
version of the URL. In the event of a mismatch, the SW is supposed to
consider the manifest invalid, and avoid using it. There are 3 cases
to consider by which this can happen.
Case 1: during the initial SW installation, a manifest is activated
without waiting for every URL to be fully loaded. In the background,
every prefetch URL listed by the manifest is requested and cached.
One such prefetch request could fail the hash test, and cause the
manifest to be treated as invalid. In such a case, the SW should
enter a state of EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY, as the latest manifest is
invalid.
This case works today.
Case 2: during the initial SW installation, as in Case 1, a manifest
is activated without waiting for each URL to fully load. However,
it's possible that the application could request a URL with a bad
hash before background initialization tries to load that URL. This
happens if, for example, the application has a broken index.html.
In this case, the SW should enter a state of EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY,
and serve the request from the network instead.
What happens today is that the internal error escapes the SW and
is returned as a rejected Promise to respondWith(), causing a
browser-level error that the site cannot be loaded, breaking the
site.
This change allows the SW to detect the error and enter the correct
state, falling back on the network if needed.
Case 3: during checkForUpdate(), the SW will try to fully cache the
new update before making it the latest version. Failure here is
complicated - if the page fails to load due to transient network
conditions (timeouts, 500s, etc), then it makes sense to continue
serving the existing cached version, and attempt to activate the
update on the next cycle.
If the page fails due to non-transient conditions though (400 error,
hash mismatch, etc), then the SW should consider the updated
manifest invalid, and enter a state of EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY.
Currently, all errors are treated as transient.
This change causes the SW to treat all errors during updates as
non-transient, which can cause the SW to unnecessarily enter a
safe mode. A future change can allow the SW to remain in normal mode
if the error is provably transient.

This commit fixes several issues discovered through use in real apps.
* The sha1() function operated on text content, causing issues for binary-format files.
A sha1Binary() function which operates on unparsed data now avoids any encoding issues.
* The characters '?' and '+' were not escaped in Glob-to-regex conversion previously, but
are now.
* URLs from the browser contain the full origin, but were checked against the table of
hashes from the manifest which only has the path for URLs from the same origin. Now the
origin is checked and URLs are relativized to the domain root before comparison if
appropriate.
* ngsw: prefix was missing from data groups, is now added.
* Occasionally servers will return a redirected response for an asset, and caching it could
cause errors for navigation requests. The SW now handles this by detecting such responses
and following the redirect manually, to avoid caching a redirected response.
* The request for known assets is now created from scratch from the URL before fetching from
the network, in order to sanitize it and avoid carrying any special modes or headers that
might result in opaque responses.
* Debugging log for troubleshooting.
* Avoid creating errors by returning 504 responses on error.
* Fix bug where idle queue doesn't run in some circumstances.
* Add tests for the above.
This service worker is a conceptual derivative of the existing @angular/service-worker maintained at github.com/angular/mobile-toolkit, but has been rewritten to support use across a much wider variety of applications.
Entrypoints include:
@angular/service-worker: a library for use within Angular client apps to communicate with the service worker.
@angular/service-worker/gen: a library for generating ngsw.json files from glob-based SW config files.
@angular/service-worker/ngsw-worker.js: the bundled service worker script itself.
@angular/service-worker/ngsw-cli.js: a CLI tool for generating ngsw.json files from glob-based SW config files.
