Add shortened link copy to right-click popup #3

Right now, Linksnip can only copy the address in the current tab. It'd be nice if it could copy shortened links without having to navigate to them beforehand.

I have a branch that does this, but it requires the "Can modify all web pages" permission, because you have to handle a context menu in a service worker, but the clipboard (pointlessly imho) can't be modified from a service worker. Instead a content script is injected into the website (hence the permission), and then they asynchronously communicate.

This will change when I can find a better way or I decide that requesting the scary looking permission is worth it.
