This PR implements the [Window Controls Overlay
API](https://web.dev/articles/window-controls-overlay) to let us hide
the menu bar on Windows and Linux and directly embed the window controls
in our tab bar. With #239 merged, we no longer need the menu bar on
these platforms.
The overlaid window controls are transparent so they will take on the
background from the app. I've updated the tab bar to flow properly using
the API's CSS environment variables.
At some point, we may want to update the logic around the symbolColor so
that it can ensure a proper contrast between the background and the
symbols in the window controls. For now, setting them to white works for
all the backgrounds we currently support.

This improves the app updater so that it doesn't rely on unreliable
system notifications. Now, a banner in the tab bar will display when an
update is available. Clicking this will prompt the user to restart the
app and complete the installation.
This also updates the tab bar to move to the smaller tab size earlier so
we don't need to make the tab bar scrollable as much.
Adds support for window blur via the Vibrancy feature on macOS and the
BackgroundMaterial feature on Windows. The setting has no effect on
Linux. If both transparency and blur are set, transparency will take
precedence.
This adds a new global atom to track whether a window is in full screen.
It also updates the behavior of the tab bar so that it will only add an
extra left indent on macOS windows that are not in full screen.
Otherwise, the indent will be much smaller.
Adds support for building for Linux ARM targets using the new GitHub
Linux ARM64 runners. Adds a new menu item to toggle the visibility of
the menu bar on non-darwin targets,
Adds a new set of configurations for managing whether the app will
automatically check for updates. Ports over the auto update code from
the old app. In this version, the main difference is that updates can be
manually checked for using a menu bar item, even if auto updates are
disabled.
Adds electron-builder, which we will use to package and distribute our
application, same as in the existing app.
Replaces explicit port assignments with dynamic ones, which are then
stored into environment variables.
Adds a ~/.w2-dev folder for use when running a dev build.
The build-helper pipeline from the old repo is included here too, but it
is not updated yet so it will fail.
Also removes some redundant utility functions and cleans up some let vs.
const usage.
The packaging can be run using the `package:prod` and `package:dev`
tasks.

Fixes the New Window menu item so that it shows the new window after it
loads and captures any errors that occur. Also adds a keyboard shortcut
for new window and uses the native shortcut for close window.
This change:
- now clears the search box when entering a new directory
- fixes some styling issues
- adds a .. to the path
- uses the correct path (except on the initial start of the directory
widget)
