@angular/pwa - option to add webmanifest without service worker

[kozm9000]

Command

add

Description

When @angular/pwa is added, prompt user if a service worker is needed or just webmanifest with icons.

Why ?

For simple websites where caching / background execution / OS integration is not required. To have all images / favicons for cross platform compatibility and "add to homescreen" option.

Describe the solution you'd like

Yes / No prompt.
If no is selected, provideServiceWorker('ngsw-worker.js') is not added and no changes are made to angular.json.

Extra functionality

Embed asset generation based on a provided source image.
