Description
From the service worker, I'd like to be notified when a new controlled windowClient is added. Similarly for windowClient removal.
At the moment, in order to know whether windowClients being controlled has changed, you need either to poll the API or work around it via postMessage from the windowClient itself.

No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by reviewing the service worker windowClients API and the existing controlled-window behavior; the work is complete when the service worker can receive notifications for windowClient additions and removals without polling or relying on postMessage.
