[UI] Show a progress bar in the task bar for various app activity

[0xCmdrKeen]

Summary

This shows a progress bar in the application's task bar icon for various background app activity, such as downloading/installing, updating, or launching a game. If any such activity starts, an indeterminate (i.e. spinning) progress bar is shown until the activity either finishes or produces some measurable progress (i.e. downloading a game), at which point the progress is shown using a determinate progress bar.

Here's a short video to demonstrate this:

This should work on all platforms, although there are certain limitations on Linux, see https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/browser-window#winsetprogressbarprogress-options

Details

An indeterminate progress bar is shown during the following activities:

• Installing a game (until download progress is available)
• Updating a game (until download progress is available)
• Moving a game (until copy progress is available)
• Verifying and repairing a game
• Uninstalling a game
• Syncing cloud saves
• Launching a game

A determinate progress bar is shown whenever a download is in progress (i.e. during installation or update), or when moving a game. Whenever a given activity finishes, the progress bar is removed again.

Checklist

• Tested the main App features and they are still working on a current and clean install. (Login, Install, Play, Uninstall, Move games, etc.)
• Created / Updated Tests (If necessary)
• Created / Updated documentation (If necessary)

Code looks good. It seems it doesn't work on linux with cinnamon as the DE so I can't really test this so I'll leave this for other people to properly test it.

Supporting only unity desktop is unacceptable in 2023, let me see what I can do to fix this
nvm the same api is supported by kde as well, the docs are lying :p

[Etaash-mathamsetty]

ok unfortunately it doesn't work on linux at all, but that's ok

This one should be ready to merge after the conflicts are fixed. :)

@flavioislima I fixed the conflicts but somehow the build is still stuck in CI 10 hours later, any idea what's wrong with it?

Can you trigger the branch update? this will trigger the workflows.

@0xCmdrKeen I think there is an lint issue now on main.ts.

Sorry for the force push, looks like I may have messed up the CLA in the process. Can you pls fix it?
