PWA: receiving shared link by OS using webShareTargetAPI #77

I just came to realize this api exists and It's mind blowing!

Source : https://developer.chrome.com/en/articles/web-share-target/

Goal : When installed as a PWA, ytify must show up in the os share menu. We can then directly share links(from yt app or site) to the PWA without opening it up, removing the need to copy and paste links for PWA users.

LET'S DO THIS
