Use native messaging to enable vimiumc on pages like the chrome extensions page. #1104

What command or commands Right now vimium C doesn't work on pages like The edge extensions page or the chrome extensions page. An extension called AutoControl supports this functionality by using native messaging, in which we have to install an exe that communicates with the extension. A similar functionality in Vimium C would be great.

How should a feature do

When a user has done such steps:

Gone to a page like the chrome or edge extensions page.

then Vimium C should do:

Vimium C should work on that page

Browser and OS

Vimium C doesn't use native messages - such a way can't be widely accepted by common extension users.

On the contrary, Vimium C has provided a feature to "inject" into other extensions, if only the target extension contains some necessary modification.
