feat(service-worker): support sendRequest as a notificationclick …

…action (#46912)

Implement a new `notificationclick` action, `sendRequest`, which sends a
GET request to the specified URL, without opening a new window. This can
be useful for hitting an API endpoint.

 If an `onActionClick` item does not define a `url`, then the service worker's registration scope is used.
