Description

This includes live reload and Hot Module Replacement. In those cases offline-plugin's cache functions should do nothing, i.e. not handle fetch event.

Reasons: someone may want to test push notifications / background sync in dev mode with webpack-dev-server.

(Probably even reload SW file's code when it changes)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a condition to bypass offline plugin's fetch handler when webpack dev server is active, so that caching does not interfere with live reload or HMR.
