Exposes the client's PageLifecycle state on the ServiceWorker Client API.

Motivation

Service workers do not know the state of a client. If a client is frozen it will not immediately handle a postMessage() being sent to it. In some situations the service worker may not wish to spam the client with messages because that may cause the client to be discarded. In other situations the service worker may wish to focus the window client causing the client to become unfrozen.
