Make the application work as a web page and as a progressive web app #180

Pàdé runs installs as a browser extension and runs like a desktop application. In some use cases where browser extensions are not permitted, it is desirable to run Pàdé as basic web page or install and run as a progressive web app. This is most desired for mobile devices

In order to support a web page or progressive web app (PWA), a web server with web push support is required. This feature will require the Openfire Chat API plugin to host the Pàdé web application. Perform the following changes to Pàdé:

Enable Pàdé to work work as a PWA that installs like a native app on the desktop or mobile.
Support web push directly from Openfire using VAPID and a service worker to open Pàdé when messages are received and the user is offline.
Support single sign on with browser stored username/password using the Credential Management API. User should experience the Converse login or registration screen only once.
Adjust the already responsive Converse UI for a mobile form factor
Handle PWA caching
