Re: [ServiceWorker] 24 hour spontaneous update doesn't seem specced (#514)

Install failure for a new version seems like a situation we might be able to handle independently; i.e. by retrying the install.

Regarding when we should update the timestamp, the simpler rule which doesn't pay attention to install success or failure doesn't strike me as being problematic. A site with a busted SW is the reason to have the backstop and potentially DoSing a server for which there's a failed SW install seems like a bad idea (the natural consequence of re-checking every navigation after 24 hours when the install fails).
