This puts the app into its own origin so it doesn't have access to the filesystem via file:// URIs. This is done by serving the app using a custom protocol handler.

Automatically migrate the users login from the old origin to the new one.

May be easier to review this commit-by-commit (ie. the origin switch, then the migration tool).

This includes a minified copy of the browserified js-sdk with a getAllEndToEndSessions() function added to the crypto store (matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk#812). This is not great, but for a short-lived tool this seems better than introducing more entry points into webpack only used for the electron app.

Electron: Load app from custom protocol

This puts the app into its own origin so it doesn't have access
to the filesystem via file:// URIs.

Next step: migrate over localstorage & indexeddb data from the old
origin...

Add tool to migrate logins between origins
751a1dc 
App checks at startup for an existing session, if there isn't one,
it will start the tool to check for a login in the file:// origin.
If there is one, it will copy the login over to the vector://vector
origin.

In principle this could also be used to migrate logins between
other origins on the web if this were ever required.

This includes a minified copy of the browserified js-sdk with
a getAllEndToEndSessions() function added to the crypto store
(matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk#812). This is
not great, but for a short-lived tool this seems better than
introducing more entry points into webpack only used for the
electron app.

Seems to be doing the right thing.

electron_app/src/electron-main.js
// file:// as that's the origin we're migrating from).
baseDir = __dirname + "/../../origin_migrator/dest";
} else if (target[1] === 'webapp') {
baseDir = __dirname + "/../../webapp";

might be better to use path.join for this and the one above, because Windows. Not sure how badly it'll complain though.

nvm, path.normalize fixes it all
