WIP patch

Forces all service workers on the main thread for now to see if EWS is happy.

Good, only 2 test failures and they are tests about hung service workers (and their termination) and this is obviously not working as well if the service worker runs on the main thread.

Can you expand on the change log here and add some information about what the goal is here.

Ok, I will add more information.

Basically, the idea is to support uses where the injected bundle needs to be able to gets access to the service worker global object and script it. This is not practical if the service worker runs off the main thread.

Note that this is not for service workers in general. It will be only for very specific service workers that need to interact with the injected bundle.

Ping review? I need this to actually start adding support for service worker scripting from injected bundle.

Not new to this patch, but I don't think we need the unsafe capture of this here.  Below we could also just capture a RefPtr<Connection> instead of this.

ForTesting would be nice on this here and everywhere else.

NetworkProcess owns the SWSessions and SWSession is not ref-counted. Therefore, capturing |this| seems safe to me?
