Feature: ServiceWorkerGlobalScope#serviceWorker to get a service worker object corresponding to a worker itself
This allows a service worker to get its ServiceWorker object with self.serviceWorker in a service worker script and its current state with self.serviceWorker.state in the script.
Motivation
A service worker instance currently has no way to get its current lifecycle state. There's a bit of a hack one can do where you keep track of the current event as a global variable but that's error prone and doesn't capture the waiting periods correctly. The best way to solve this would be to just allow a service worker to get its ServiceWorker object in a service worker script.
