    renderjs_ui: "Touch" cache manifest in Post-Upgrade · 3eafdf3f

    With the current architecture of cache manifest, it was required that
    developpers change the cache manifests referencing a web page every time
    they change a web page. In practice, developers were never doing this,
    so we sometimes had issues where client keep using old version of
    website even though a new version has been deployed, when after
    deployment we did not change the cache manifest.
    
    To automate the scenario of modifying the cache manifest, introduce a
    post-upgrade constraint that will check that the manifest is newer than
    all of the referenced pages. If that's the case, the constraint can fix
    by modifying the manifest content, which also changes the modification
    date of the manifest, which might be used in "if-modified-since"
    negociations.
    
    According to spec [1], cache manifest is updated if the HTTP responses
    is not "304 not modified" and if the manifest content is not
    byte-for-byte identical to the previously cached version.
