Description

Upon https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#control-and-use-worker-client,
workers should inherit controllers for the blob URL. However, existing code
allows only DedicatedWorkers to inherit the controller, and SharedWorkers do
not inherit the controller.

Setting the policy to Enabled or leaving it unset means
Google Chrome inherit the controller
if a blob URL is used as a SharedWorker URL.

Setting the policy to Disabled leaves the behavior not aligned with the
specification as-is.

This policy is intended to be temporary and will be removed in the future.
