Add the ability to simply cast the entire tab #254

Often when I order food through doordash/ubereats/etc I like to cast the tab to my office tv so that my girlfriend and I can see when it is arriving. I wonder how complicated it would be to simply cast the content of the webpage and not only rely on finding video streams.

There is experimental screen mirroring support. You can enable it from the options page if you show advanced options.

I had to remove tab mirroring because of some weird issue on Chromecast devices with canvas streams, but you can still cast a specific window.

It's not good for video or anything where latency is important, but it should be fine for your use case.
