We decided to remove createObjectURL from ServiceWorker context since blob URLs have lifecycle problems on service workers and Response objects have better semantics.

The appropriate lifetime for URLs created with URL.createObjectURL turned
out to be tricky to define, so it was decided to hide it from service
workers altogether. (https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/issues/688)

This commit implements this change and adds a web platform test to verify it.
It also exposes the MediaSource variant of URL.createObjectURL in DedicatedWorker
and SharedWorker contexts in order to comply with the WebIDL spec (see
https://github.com/w3c/media-source/issues/168#issuecomment-410269436).

Doc updates:

The createObjectURL() page already had this information; updated revokeObjectURL() and added a note to Firefox 63 for developers.

I've also submitted PR #2707 on BCD to note these changes in the compatibility database.
Aha, I’ve just found URL.createObjectURL in my own service worker. Fortunately this particular app is no longer maintained, but I’m wondering if this change may break similar code. Will monitor reports.
