Addon proposal: ember-service-worker

[CodingItWrong]

I would like to propose a few additional addons to be made available: ember-service-worker and its associated optional plugins:

• ember-service-worker-index (caches index.html)
• ember-service-worker-asset-cache (caches static assets: js, css, images, fonts)
• ember-service-worker-cache-fallback (caches API responses)

Service workers are a major component of adding Progressive Web App functionality to a webapp and giving it parity with native apps. This has been a significant focus of Ember at least since the 2016 Emberconf keynote. And ember-service-worker benefits from Ember's conventions to provide very simple setup. I've even heard that there are discussions about potentially including service workers by default in Ember.

Do you suggest a new category or one-option-that-installs-many-addons ?

[CodingItWrong]

It would probably be best as another category, because these plugins are opt-in, and it's designed so you don't necessarily need to use all of 'em. At the same time, they do feel like kind of a low-level concern, so maybe that is a reason to consider not including Service Worker. It's less of a "drop one addon in and you're set" thing.
