Re: [w3c/manifest] Bring back "serviceworker" member (#864)

The use case in theory is pretty clear (and I believe why this was designed in the first place): a store front has an "install" button which registers a SW and creates a local app installation from just a manifest + SW, with no document.

In practice, though, well at least Chromium's app install and service worker registration mechanisms are _highly_ coupled to a document. You can't do either of those things unless you have a document loaded, and that won't change without a major refactor. So in practice, this flow isn't feasible for us. (Though desirable.)
