This PR covers the use of Service Workers for managing data through can-connect. Service workers are a new technology that allows caching, indexing, and manipulation of data outside the scope of a page, via an installable script.
Service workers operate significantly differently from Web workers in that:
For SPA creators, the service worker is likely to manage all or a large percentage of resources, especially when dealing with offline access. Having support for the service worker in can-connect allows CanJS to be used more effectively in apps where a service worker is used.
In addition to support for service workers, this PR includes a simple service worker that caches fixtures on demand. when a resource is fixturized via connection.fixturize(), the SW will manipulate the resources for GET/PUT/POST/DELETE itself, without passing the request on to the HTTP host.
