The API `tray.setHighlightMode(mode)` has been be removed in electron v7.0
without replacement.
This causes the display of an error dialog every time an app is
shown/hidden if the parameter `--tray` is used when nativefying. This is
completely independent form the website you are nativefying and it
happens with all the version of electron after 6.x.

**Resolves #855**
**Example result upon Terminal launch:**
`WARNING: Ignored nativefier.json rewrital (Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/lib/jupyter-remote-client/resources/app/nativefier.json')`
**Behaviour:**
+ Instead of crashing, the application properly opens and is always maximized.
+ When permissions are R/W, the application is maximized on first launch and the closing states are remembered by the OS throughout launches.
nodeIntegration is required if eg. Javascript code makes use of the
`require` expression to import classes into the current scope. login.js
uses an electron import - without it, the callback mechanism does not
work, and thus the whole login functionality.
Electron seems to have changed the default value for a windows `nodeIntegration` to `false` since version 5 (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55093700/electron-5-0-0-uncaught-referenceerror-require-is-not-defined)
Without the integration, the login component's functionality is broken, though. This PR enables the nodeIntegration feature for the login window and makes it properly propagate the given credentials.
Tested with Electron 6.0.0 on Linux.
* As explained in: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/8862#issuecomment-294303518
an issue with .quit() exists with a "Cannot find module '../screen'" issue,
while using the .exit() alternative avoids the issue
* Validated on Windows with the same logic as #744 where the issue recently appeared
On Linux if you try to change the keyboard layout with Alt + Shift,
the menu will pop up. Shortcuts are needed because Electron opens
the first menu on pressing `Alt` if no hotkey is assigned.

[Squirrel](https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows) is *"an installation and update
framework for Windows desktop apps "*.
This PR adds `electron-squirrel-startup`, allowing to package nativefier applications
into squirrel-based setup installers. Squirrel require this entrypoint to perform
desktop and startup menu creations, without showing the UI on setup launches.
- References: https://github.com/mongodb-js/electron-squirrel-startup
- Resolves `electron-winstaller` and `electron-installer-windows` support of desktop / startup menu shortcuts for nativefier packaged applications.
- The `electron-squirrel-startup` entrypoint has no effect on both Linux and Darwin, only on Windows
- Supporting it directly inside `nativefier` avoids having to "hack" around the existing `main.js`
and including dependencies from `electron-squirrel-startup` in an intermediate package
to be included in a third layer for the final installer executable
- The following script based on both `nativefier` and `electron-winstaller` templates
represents a portable proof of concept for this merge request :

* Fix for CSS Injection not working (#703)
Issue:
When using `onHeadersReceived`, the code was passing `null` for the filters.
This appears to trigger behaviour that matches _no_ urls at all.
This results in it never being called to inject the CSS.
Fix:
Pass an empty array instead. Now it's called for all URLs.
Tests pass & linting is clean
* Fix JavaScript injection (#731)
Issue:
It appears that on low endd evices (Core m3 MacBook), the attachment to
`DOMContentLoaded` happens _after_ the event has been raised, so does
not have a chance to inject the script.
Fix:
Move the attachment to the top of the file -- before the imports. This
triggers a bunch of linting erros, so also added disablement inplace.
Additional:
Clarified when the injected JS gets loaded, and what it can assume about
the DOM.
This adds a new flag, allowing the user to define global shortcuts that trigger input events within the main window.
That way, I could easily wrap SoundCloud and Deezer to create a native app which reacts on my keyboard media buttons.
When the `getCurrentUrl` function was refactored to make use of the `withFocusedWindow` function in ac99c6424d, it stopped returning a value and broke the "Copy Current URL" feature (#633).
This change restores the original behavior of the getCurrentURL function and makes the "Copy Current URL" feature functional again.
When using an app such as Gmail, the unread count is included in the title, and the --counter feature displays that number on the dock icon. However, when the number is larger than 999, it includes commas in the number (e.g. "1,000"), and the number is no longer displayed on the dock icon, because the regular expression used to detect the counter value does not permit punctuation. This change modifies the regular expression used to match the counter value to permit "." and ",".
* Fix sites that use about:blank redirect technique
When you open some links with Google Calendar, instead of opening the link directly, the site opens a new window with the location 'about:blank' and then sets the new window's document content to include a refresh directive to open the actual link. This change causes the 'about:blank' links to be handled internally so that the technique can actually work.
* Hide 'about:blank' windows while they perform the redirect
After a new window is created for an 'about:blank' link, the redirect occurs, which causes another window to be opened. This change causes the 'about:blank' to be created hidden, and then closed entirely once the redirect finishes.
* Add tests for `linkIsInternal`
* Refactor onNewWindow to make it testable
The tab feature introduced by #579 included a change that checks the `disposition` parameter and conditionally creates tabs, and that check was placed prior to the check to see if the URL is internal. This change moves the `linkIsInternal()` check earlier so that external links are always opened externally, regardless of disposition.
As part of #591, all window creation was routed through a createNewWindow function. That change introduced the regression reported in #616 in which popup windows could not communicate with their parent windows. This change reverts that behavior for windows opened via JavaScript (that aren't being opened as tabs and aren't being opened in external browsers), thereby fixing the reported regression.
By changing incorrect window `guest` property to `newGuest`. See

Electron supports using native tabs on macOS (API added in Electron 1.8.1). This change adds a context menu item on platforms that support it (macOS for now) to open links in new tabs, and also adds support for {command,middle}-clicking links to open them in a new tab.
Maintainer (@ronjouch) note: this feature is macOS-only. Windows/Linux patches welcome 🙂.
The electron-context-menu package uses the context-menu event emitted by WebContents (API added in Electron 1.0.2) to add a general context menu supporting generic actions (e.g. cut/copy/paste) that can be customized. This change replaces the existing context menu, which relies on adding an event listener in preload.js, with one built using the new package.
* Update deps except eslint
* Update eslint and lint:fix (WIP, needs manual fixing for remaining 44 problems)
* Manually fix remaining eslint errors
* Document deprecation of `version-string` as of electron-packager 9.0.0
* Upgrade to Electron 1.7.9 (chrome-58, node-7.9.0, v8-5.8)
* npm: Disable generation of package-lock.json and gitignore it
--Trying this, package-lock is a pain in PRs. May not be a good idea
(obviously we lose deps pinning), will revert if necessary.--
* npm tasks: add dev-up-win for Windows developers,
and e2e for end-to-end tests. Update docs.
* Move normalizeUrl test to a jest unit test, makes no sense to be in the mocha e2e tests
* Switch from babel-preset-es2015 to babel-preset-env,
with target.node=4.0. Seem like it's today's most convenient
way to support the latest ES and let babel transpile to what
makes sense for our currently minimal node version
