Electron already has a built-in tracker for all opened windows,
so it makes no sense to have custom code to handle it.
One should always use what is given to you :^)
This commit renames the 'syncSettings' IRC channels to 'syncWindows' and
changes the renderer's listener setup for this channel more generic
so that it can cover other store modules besides the settings' module.
The 'nedb' package is unmaintained (last update was 5 years ago) and
has a couple of high severity vulnerabilities.
In addition, the use of callbacks is somewhat cumbersome for
the project's current workflow.
Therefore, I've decided to replace it with the 'nedb-promises' package,
which, internally, makes use of a maintained fork of 'nedb' and
wraps its API with Promises.
Smooth scrolling toggling is currently wonky on runtime, since,
most of the time, it doesn't toggle on and off properly.
In addition, now that we have multi-window support,
the current implementation was somewhat lacking.
This commit solves those issues by replacing
the existing smooth scrolling related channels with a
new generic `relaunchRequest` channel.
Since the session is shared by all 'BrowserWindow's and
it can be accessed without a window reference,
it's best to clear data when the 'window-all-closed' event is emitted.
With the knowledge that the session is shared by all 'BrowserWindow's,
proxy and cookie related logic can now be set once on startup and
it's not necessary to set them again for every window created.
Previously, the code misleadingly lead developers to believe that
each 'BrowserWindow' had its own isolated session.
This commit clarifies the fact that a global session is shared
by all 'BrowserWindow's by default.
This should fix an issue where, when closing the app, an error window
would very occasionally pop up declaring that 'getNormalBounds'
was called on an undefined variable.

The app utilizes the Electron IPC to communicate settings' updates
to the other existing windows.
This is still at a fairly rudimentary stage, since some settings are
not syncing at all, while other settings have related side effects that
are not currently being propagated to the remaining windows.
An example of this would be the 'uiScale' setting, in which
the value is properly synced, but the app's actual scaling isn't.
This commit removes duplicated handler logic related to the app's
'ready' event. In addition, it rearranges the template used to build the
app's menu in order to make it a bit easier to understand.
The `remote` module is deprecated and `@electron/remote` is unnecessary,
since the `ipcMain` and `ipcRenderer` can replace their functionality,
providing better performance and better security.
All other dangerous calls (mainly pulling main process constructs into
the renderer process) have also been removed.
This prevents the CONSENT cookie from being deleted after a window
is closed by the user, making it so that the user can no
longer load the comment section.
* Bump electron version to 12.0.6
* Move web content clean up logic to window close event
Reference from electron release notes:
> Fixed the window-all-closed event being emitted while the last
BrowserWindow was still in the process of being closed.
1. Handle open-url events.
2. Make protocol handling more robust on Win/Linux based on SO post.
3. Change 'ping' message to more descriptive 'openUrl' message.
4. Remove freetube:// protocol in main, and unify URL handling logic.
