Service worker caching strategy

Precache the shell, JS, CSS and self-hosted fonts in
mealquest-precache-v1. Route every other request through the pure
src/sw/routes.ts decision: NetworkFirst (3 s timeout) for plans,
shopping, dinners and home; CacheFirst with expiration for /media/* and
font files; NetworkOnly for /auth/*, settings, jobs and every non-GET.
App navigations fall back to the precached index.html offline. On
activate, delete only stale caches named mealquest-*.
