share an account or a channel public profile with a share button #4011

According to the new channel / account UI and this feature https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/3680 introducing shorter URLs, it would be nice to have the ability to share an account or a channel public profile page with a share button as we do for the playlists.

I thought about that when working on this PR : https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/pull/4009. For example, the default behaviour of the Angular Router for the home channel /video-channels/:channelName (or account) profile redirects to /video-channels/:channelName/videos (or /accounts/:accountName/videos). So the full profile link usually copied is with the route /videos or /video-channels.

Hi @Chocobozzz, after discussions, it looks like the most common way to share a profile (channel or account) on platforms / communities is to copy the link in the address bar.

Maybe defining a child component as home but without the sub-route to prevent Angular from redirecting to /a/USERNAME/videos-channels or /c/CHANNEL_NAME/videos is the solution ?

At least a part of the solution, as we show somewhere in the UI that /@actorName is usable ?
