This tweaks Linux packages for Riot to SUID `chrome-sandbox` after install. This
is required as of Electron 5 for certain distros, such as Debian.
This change has also been provided to `electron-builder` upstream, so ideally
they'll include it in the future and this becomes redundant.

in Electron get config via IPC from main process
which has access to the "local" config.json override file
and can make people happy :D
Remove bunch of duplicated code,
and move comments around to put them in the right place

This runtime PNG icon (the default window and tray icon) was not updated to
remove the white background when we last changed the branding. This copies a 265
px PNG from elsewhere to ensure it matches.

Electron doesn't seem to want to load icons from within `asar`s, so this changes
the default icons (used for window and tray) so that they are just regular files
on disk and updates the reference to match.

This fixes the fallback path which sets the Electron window icon to the default
icon in case there's no data URI based icon coming content. This is true
immediately after startup, for example.

A custom user data directory can now be specified using the "profile-dir"
command line argument.

We did not previously commit lock files for the Electron app, so there is no
correct copy to import from. For this directory, I created a fresh yarn lock
file using yarn install.
App checks at startup for an existing session, if there isn't one,
it will start the tool to check for a login in the file:// origin.
If there is one, it will copy the login over to the vector://vector
origin.
In principle this could also be used to migrate logins between
other origins on the web if this were ever required.
This includes a minified copy of the browserified js-sdk with
a getAllEndToEndSessions() function added to the crypto store
(https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/pull/812). This is
not great, but for a short-lived tool this seems better than
introducing more entry points into webpack only used for the
electron app.
This puts the app into its own origin so it doesn't have access
to the filesystem via file:// URIs.
Next step: migrate over localstorage & indexeddb data from the old
origin...
* Turn off node integration in the electron renderer process
* Enable the chromium sandbox to put the renderer into its own process
* Expose just the ipc module with a preload script
* Introduce a little IPC call wrapper so we can call into the
renderer process and await on the result.
* Use this in a bunch of places we previously used direct calls
to electron modules.
* Convert other uses of node, eg. use of process to derive the
platform (just look at the user agent)
* Strip out the desktopCapturer integration which doesn't appear
to have ever worked (probably best to just wait until
getDisplayMedia() is available in chrome at this point:
https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/4880).
