The Angular ServiceWorker always uses a copy of the request without
headers for caching assets (in order to avoid issues with opaque
responses). Therefore, it was previously not possible to retrieve
resources from the cache if the response contained [Vary](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Vary) headers.
In addition to that, `Vary` headers do not work in all browsers (or work
differently) and may not work as intended with ServiceWorker caches. See
[this article](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2017/11/understanding-vary-header) and the linked resources for more info.
This commit avoids the aforementioned issues by making sure the Angular
ServiceWorker always sets the `ignoreVary` option passed to
[Cache#match()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Cache/match) to `true`. This allows the ServiceWorker to correctly
retrieve cached responses with `Vary` headers, which was previously not
possible.
Fixes#36638
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, [Vary](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Vary)
headers would be taken into account when retrieving resources from the
cache, completely preventing the retrieval of cached assets (due to
ServiceWorker implementation details) and leading to unpredictable
behavior due to inconsistent/buggy implementations in different
browsers.
Now, `Vary` headers are ignored when retrieving resources from the
ServiceWorker caches, which can result in resources being retrieved even
when their headers are different. If your application needs to
differentiate its responses based on request headers, please make sure
the Angular ServiceWorker is [configured](https://angular.io/guide/service-worker-config)
to avoid caching the affected resources.

The tests will not be run anyway, so the artifacts are never used and
there might be errors if creating the testing artifacts relies on APIs
that are not available in that environment (e.g. `URL`).

Previously, if an app version contained the same files as an older
version (e.g. making a change, then rolling it back), the SW would not
detect it as the latest version (and update clients).
This commit fixes it by adding a `timestamp` field in `ngsw.json`, which
makes each build unique (with sufficiently high probability).

The previous version did not support the 'notificationclick' event.
Add event handler for the event and provide an observable of
clicked notifications in the SwPush service.

The ServiceWorker will redirect navigation requests that don't match any
`asset` or `data` group to the specified index file. The rules for a
request to be classified as a navigation request are as follows:
1. Its `mode` must be `navigation`.
2. It must accept a `text/html` response.
3. Its URL must match certain criteria (see below).
By default, a navigation request can have any URL except for:
1. URLs containing `__`.
2. URLs to files (i.e. containing a file extension in the last path
segment).
While these rules are fine in many cases, sometimes it is desirable to
configure different rules for the URLs of navigation requests (e.g.
ignore specific URLs and pass them through to the server).
This commit adds support for specifying an optional `navigationUrls`
list in `ngsw-config.json`, which contains URLs or simple globs
(currently only recognizing `!`, `*` and `**`).
Only requests whose URLs match any of the positive URLs/patterns and
none of the negative ones (i.e. URLs/patterns starting with `!`) will be
considered navigation requests (and handled accordingly by the SW).
(This is an alternative implementation to #23025.)

Currently, the SwUpdate service doesn't receive messages from the SW.
This is because it attempts to subscribe to the 'message' event on
ServiceWorkerRegistration, when really messages are emitted by the
ServiceWorkerContainer.
This change moves to listening on ServiceWorkerContainer and changes
the mocks to reflect the way the browser actually works.

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.
