Add WebExtensions APIs to support extensions from chrome and FF.

[qazbnm456]

We now have electron/electron#5842 for Accessibility DevTools extension.
How about implementing more WebExtensions APIs to support more extensions that are on chrome and FF.

APIs needed for uBlock

• tabs.onActivated
• storage.remove(string or array of string keys, function callback)
• i18n.getAcceptLanguages(function callback)
• i18n.getMessage(string messageName, any substitutions)
• i18n.getUILanguage()

• browserAction.setIcon(object details, function callback)
• browserAction.setBadgeText(object details)
• contextMenus.onClicked
• browserAction.setBadgeBackgroundColor(object details) only support "string: color" now
• windows.update(integer windowId, object updateInfo, function callback)

APIs needed for thegreatsuspender

• contextMenus.remove(integer or string menuItemId, function callback)
• contextMenus.removeAll(function callback)
• extension.getBackgroundPage()
• extension.getViews()

Some extension APIs need to be implemented by writing some C++ code in the lower layer, such as extension.getBackgroundPage and extension.getViews.

Will consider writing on my own or use Muon instead, though lots of code will have to be rewritten because Muon has removed the support for running Node.js in renderer processes.
