Copy URL to clipboard from Chromium apps (#1458)

* Copy current URL to clipboard with browser extension

In Omarchy web apps it's impossible to get the curent URL to share it in
another applications. This commit adds a browser extension which is
included by default via the chromium-flags.conf config. With this
extension you can get the current URL via a keyboard shortcut.

The default shortcut for getting the current URL is `Ctrl+Shift+L`, this
shortcut can be changed via this page: chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

* Change the shortcut to Alt+Shift+L

In my testing and research I found out that not all shortcuts
are available as suggested_key. We still want to use L because
that's easy to remember because we associate it with the location bar.

* Improve notification language

* Move it to just Alt + L since that's not used

Better mirrors Ctrl + L as well

* Move this under default/chromium

* Fix symlink

* It didn't like Alt+L alone after all
