v2.0.0

Retrieve voices dynamically

Previously every time Google added new voices, the extension needed to be updated. Now the extension should be able to retrieve the new voices automatically. This fixes #8

Added download shortcut

Default keys (CTRL+SHIFT+E) can be modified from the chrome://extensions/shortcuts page. This fixes #10

Use OGG_OPUS encoding

OGG_OPUS encoding is now used for everything. Although the quality might suffer a little, it should allow for much better latency and smaller file size.

Other changes in the code base

The code base has been converted to Typescript and is bundled using Parcel. This should make the extension more maintainable as it allows the use of NPM packages. Instructions on how to run the extension locally have been added to the README.
