Turning formr into a PWA

Change the studies view

• Add a service worker

  • Autogenerate relevant images?
• Add relevant settings to @application/Controller/AdminSurveyController.php and @templates/admin/survey/index.php

Add item to request adding to home screen

• Item inheriting from @application/Model/Item/Item.php
  • A button to request adding to home screen, guide/QR code to switch to a browser that supports PWA-homescreen (e.g., Safari on iOS)
  • Store whether it has been added to home screen
• Item to request permission to send push notifications, inheriting from @application/Model/Item/Item.php
  • A button to request push permission

Add new model for push notifications

• Similar to @application/Services/OpenCPU.php
  • Based on this library

Add run module for push notifications

• New module based on @application/Model/RunUnit/Email.php
• Add relevant logic to @application/Controller/RunSession.php

Probably need to log when users no longer receive push notifications. What to do in that case? Notify admins?
