Update workbox plugin to 5.1.2 resolving ServiceWorker quota exceeded errors

[jflayhart]

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Currently our e-commerce site is experiencing millions of ServiceWorker DOMException: QuotaExceededError errors (we're not the only ones), which almost blowing through our monthly Rollbar limit 😬. I did some brief research and found that Google is aware of this issue and recommends purgeOnQuotaError to potentially fix most of these runtime quota issues.

I could be mistaken, but looks as if CRA is using workbox 4.3.1, and this purgeOnQuotaError was added in 5.0.0 as default enabled.

Since CRA follows best practices, I highly suggest we update Workbox plugin ASAP so we can be on par with Google's best practices for handling ServiceWorkers.

Thanks and love this app!

It also seems that workbox-webpack-plugin at version 4.3.1 uses a deprecated version of core-js:
