Add linkup command to enable linking

The linkup command is the successor to coder-cloud. It enables port-forwarding via URL, uses WebRTC internally, and will enable greater linking functionality longer-term. A Link extension will be published once this is merged. We are not removing the old link functionality yet... we eventually will, but want to ensure a smooth transition.
