Remove the service worker (#25010)

It's been disabled by default since 1.17 (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/18914), and it never really delivered any benefit except being another cache layer that has its own unsolved invalidation issues. HTTP cache works, we don't need two cache layers at the browser for assets. ## ⚠️ BREAKING You can remove the config `[ui].USE_SERVICE_WORKER` from your `app.ini` now.
