App checks at startup for an existing session, if there isn't one,
it will start the tool to check for a login in the file:// origin.
If there is one, it will copy the login over to the vector://vector
origin.
In principle this could also be used to migrate logins between
other origins on the web if this were ever required.
This includes a minified copy of the browserified js-sdk with
a getAllEndToEndSessions() function added to the crypto store
(https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/pull/812). This is
not great, but for a short-lived tool this seems better than
introducing more entry points into webpack only used for the
electron app.
Looks like this was broken in the webpack 4 upgrade due to the
worker script setter and the bundle being re-ordered in index.html.
* Remove the loop: we only use two scripts now, so import them
explicitly
* Remove outdated olm import code.
* Stop generating a script import for each theme: we were pulling
in 3 js files that did absolutely nothing.
* Fix worker 'onmessage' scope (set it as a global rather than
trying to make it an ES6 module which it isn't).
* Fail hard if the indexeddb worker script isn't set to avoid
this happening again.
This puts the app into its own origin so it doesn't have access
to the filesystem via file:// URIs.
Next step: migrate over localstorage & indexeddb data from the old
origin...
* Turn off node integration in the electron renderer process
* Enable the chromium sandbox to put the renderer into its own process
* Expose just the ipc module with a preload script
* Introduce a little IPC call wrapper so we can call into the
renderer process and await on the result.
* Use this in a bunch of places we previously used direct calls
to electron modules.
* Convert other uses of node, eg. use of process to derive the
platform (just look at the user agent)
* Strip out the desktopCapturer integration which doesn't appear
to have ever worked (probably best to just wait until
getDisplayMedia() is available in chrome at this point:
https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/4880).
The JS SDK's CONTRIBUTING file is a bit simpler to read. The Synapse version previously used includes mentions of Python lint tools that don't apply here.

This is mostly useful for cases when the UI is broken or the user can't access the button because they aren't logged in. This is particularly helpful for troubleshooting issues with .well-known discovery if/when they come up.
