implement ServiceWorker file for offline usage #11

Not sure if you can serve the manifest with the required mime type from the google drive host (not that waveform should be limited by this). Also I think that manifest files can complicate development...but definitely worth having if it works well.

People (i.e. web developers) don't like the manifest file system and have started standardizing something better. Anyway, git hub makes it easy to download the code as a zip if you want offline access...it rarely (if ever) seems to be an issue.

Offline webapps are just about coming of age using the new-ish ServiceWorker API. This is something worth considering as it should be relatively straightforward to implement. It would be nice for people who want to work on a train/plane or at a conference etc. ...though admittedly this is not a request I have heard from anyone (perhaps because they hadn't realized that it's not too difficult!)
