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 :
```js
var nativefier = require('nativefier').default;
var electronInstaller = require('electron-winstaller');

* 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.
Most Unix-based command line utilities respond to a _lowercase_ `-v` flag which outputs the current version. Adding that as an alias here in addition to the already present `--version` and `-V` flags :)
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 ",".
