Converted codebase to typescript and background page/worker #174

Fixes #108, #172

Using a background page/worker boosts perceived performance a lot compared to the current way of interacting with sync storage (all actions are now instant).

Improved perceived extension load speed when first opening YouTube: buttons are added as soon as possible rather than checking for page elements.

The extension now needs two zip files, one for firefox and one for chrome, due to manifest v2 and v3 incompatibilities (background script vs service worker - firefox doesn't yet support service workers).
