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).

All errors for existing fields have been detected and suppressed with a
`!` assertion.
Issue/24571 is tracking proper clean up of those instances.
One-line change required in ivy/compilation.ts, because it appears that
the new syntax causes tsickle emitted node to no longer track their
original sourceFiles.

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.)

Previously, when trying to fetch `ngsw.json` (e.g. during
`checkForUpdate()`) while either the client or the server were offline,
the ServiceWorker would enter a degrade mode, where only existing
clients would be served. This essentially meant that the ServiceWorker
didn't work offline.
This commit fixes it by differentiating offline errors and not entering
degraded mode. The ServiceWorker will remain in the current mode until
connectivity to the server is restored.

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.

Not every application is served from the domain root. The Service
Worker made a bad assumption that it would be, and so requested
/ngsw.json from the domain root.
This change corrects this assumption, and requests ngsw.json without
the leading slash. This causes the request to be interpreted
relative to the SW origin, which will be the application root.
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.
