Install separate native messaging host for Edge

Kai Uwe Broulik requested to merge work/separatemessaginghostedge into master

It seems to read Chrome's config, too, for compatibility but let's use what the documentation [1] says.

I added Chrome extension ID to Edge's manifest so one can use the Chrome extension if one had it installed and then upgraded to a newer Plasma version, since it only looks in Chrome folder when the Edge one doesn't exist.

  • Installed it from Chrome store, worked
  • Installed it from Edge store, worked

Verified that Edge read the edge config file by removing the Chrome ID which resulted in it not working anymore, so should all work fine.
