[EventSource] Make it available in Worker

Hello folks,

Are they any reasons to not have the EventSource interface available in 
a WorkerGlobalScope?

The W3C specifies that they must be no interface objects and 
constructors in this scope [1], and the MDN documentation confirms that 
[2]. Indeed, the EventSource interface [3] has no DOM-related impact 
(e.g. it never uses document or window) and it could be useful to 
receive events from server-side in a Worker.
Moreover, I don't see any particular technical reason that coud be blocking.

Thoughts?
Best regards.
