Maybe add an action for exporting diagnostic data/log files #11

Was just looking over my old notes to see if there was any old idea that I hadn't implemented. Found one, a button with the label

Export diagnostic data and log files

I'm not entirely sure what diagnostic data and/or log files but it sounds like a neat feature. Will look around a bit for potential things to collect.

The only things I can think of atm are these files in .ssb

config
conn.json
gossip.json
manifest.json

could maybe zip them up. What's the best way of giving the user a .zip file though

Could use https://electronjs.org/docs/api/download-item , or one of several npm modules that seem to help out with this. Might be weird to implement when downloading from a local source, but should work right. Maybe the download api is overkill, maybe there's a way to just show a file-location picker.
