Serving apps with the new security model means that the apps are served
as signed packages. They get real https uris, but you still can't just
eg. host them on a gh-pages branch in github that easily.
 As for updates, it's unclear if we would let a signed SW manage the
updates for an app itself or not. If not, you will have to sign a new
package, and for now we don't let 3rd parties do the signing.
