/**
* Wrap a webworker to provide a synchronous request-response semantic.
*
* Usage on main thread:
* w = GracefulWorkerService(Worker);
* yield w.start(); // Start the worker
* const workerResponse = yield w.request("my_action", { hello: "world" }); // Send a request, wait for response
*
* Worker will receive:
* {
* method: "my_action",
* requestId: "<unique request id>",
* requestData: { hello: "world" },
* }
*
* Worker is expected to respond with an object with exactly the `requestId`, `timeTaken` and `responseData` keys:
* {
* requestId: "<the id it received>",
* responseData: 42,
* timeTaken: 23.33,
* }
* All other keys will be ignored.
* We make no assumptions about data type of `requestData` or `responseData`.
*
* Note: The worker will hold ALL requests, even in case of restarts.
* If we do not want that behaviour, we should create a new GracefulWorkerService.
