feat(x): browser screen-share picker, web notifications, Chrome extensions

Three capability upgrades to the embedded browser pane: - Screen share: getDisplayMedia() in the browser partition now shows a Chrome-style source picker (screens/windows with thumbnails, optional system audio for screens) instead of silently capturing the primary screen. Requests are denied when the pane is hidden. The app's own session keeps its auto-loopback handler for meeting transcription. - Notifications: the browser partition grants the notifications permission so sites (WhatsApp Web, Gmail, ...) can post native OS notifications while loaded. Background Web Push remains unavailable. - Extensions: electron-chrome-extensions wired to the browser session. Unpacked extensions load from ~/.rowboat/extensions/<name>/; tab lifecycle is mirrored into chrome.tabs, and a <browser-action-list> toolbar hosts action icons/popups next to the address bar. NOTE: the library is GPL-3.0/Patron dual-licensed — licensing decision required before shipping in a release build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
