### Description
I would like to use Web Workers in an Angular 8 library project.
In version 8.1.1 this seems to be supported for project type 'application' only:
```console
ng generate webWorker my-module/myWorker --project my-lib
Web Worker requires a project type of "application".
```
### Describe the solution you'd like
Generating a Web Worker should work for project type 'library' as well.
### Describe alternatives you've considered
Rewrite TypeScript worker code to JavaScript file.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running `ng generate webWorker my-module/myWorker --project my-lib` and trace the generate command's project-type validation. Done means the command generates a Web Worker for a library project instead of reporting that workers require an application.
