Use `extends` instead of git submodule setup #65

Currently we use git submodules to check out https://github.com/elk-zone/elk. This means our options for customising elk for native build are more limited and often have to happen upstream, which can hold back development of elk-native.

Instead, I propose we use the Nuxt extends/layers feature (issue tracker) to build on top of existing elk app.

This will allow us to move the tauri module that currently exists upstream into this rep and address issues like https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/pull/1492 more easily.

Does that mean that this repo would consume elk as a npm (registry) dependency? We would have a minimal Nuxt setup and extend the elk-zone/elk dependency.

Or are you thinking monorepo with shared code and layers to customize the remaining bits that are specifically web only vs app only?

Either way, I would personally prefer moving away from submodules.
