* Rebind ghost Copy URL shortcut registrations to the pinned id
Chromium never hands a suggested shortcut to one extension while
another — even a long-gone one — still holds the registration. Profiles
that first loaded Copy URL before its id was pinned registered
Alt+Shift+L under an id derived from the extension's load path at the
time, so the pinned extension never receives the shortcut and the
keypress does nothing (#6816).
The quattro upgrade tried to repair this against one hardcoded
path-derived id, which only ever matched a single home directory. The
historical ids are unknowable in general — they hash long-gone absolute
paths through whatever symlinks existed then — but the registration
itself names the command, so a migration now rebinds any copy-url
command that points away from the pinned id, unless that id belongs to
an extension that is actually installed or the pinned extension already
holds a binding of its own.
Browsers rewrite Preferences on exit, which reverts any repair made
while one runs, so the migration asks for this user's browser windows to
be closed first — failing and staying pending when there is no terminal
to ask in or the prompt is declined. The backup a repair leaves behind
marks it as attempted but unverified: until a browser-free run confirms
the registration stayed repaired, the migration keeps itself pending
rather than trusting a disk state an open browser may still overwrite.
The upgrade-time repair is dropped: the upgrade already runs migrations,
so the migration is the single implementation.
Fixes#6816

* Pin the WhatsApp Slim extension id
Keyless unpacked extensions get path-derived ids, which go stale if the
load path or packaging ever changes — the same class of bug that broke
the Copy URL shortcut for pre-package installs. Pin the id with a
manifest key like the other bundled extensions.

* Make menu overflow visible with a half-row peek and edge fades
Menus used to cut off clean at ten rows, so anything below the fold was
undiscoverable. Now the list sizes to what fits within 60% of the screen
and always ends mid-row when items overflow, with scroll-position-driven
fades at both edges. Keyboard navigation keeps the next hidden row peeking
past the cursor so the fold affordance travels with the selection.

* Collapse WhatsApp Web to a Signal-style avatar rail in slim windows
Add a WhatsApp Slim Chromium extension that injects CSS into
web.whatsapp.com, collapsing the chat list to a 90px avatar rail with
floating unread badges when the window is narrower than 1100px. Wide
windows keep the stock layout.
Loaded through the existing --load-extension list in chromium-flags.conf,
with a migration to append it for existing users.
