Create Manifest.json and ServiceWorker.js pages

The Manifest.json and ServiceWorker.js files allow you to write Progressive Web Application (PWA) functionality as customizations. Manifest.json contains metadata about your PWA, and ServiceWorker.js acts as proxy servers that sit between the PWA and the network to allow for effective offline experiences.
