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.
