The web extension to make Lightcord work.

The Cloudflare configuration for the domain discord.com now blocks out requests that do not have the proper user agent. Since browsers are strict and do not allow the modification of user agents from inside a page, this extension sets the user agent for outgoing requests from Lightcord. (and does not require the use of a backend)

Before then the CloudFlare configuration for discordapp.com did not actively block requests with the incorrect user agents, but since the use of API requests to that domain is being deprecated, this extension is now required for future versions of Lightcord.

• For every request being created for discord.com from Lightcord, the User-Agent header is replaced with DiscordBot (https://lightcord.js.org 1.0.0)
• All requests to discordapp.com from Lightcord will be redirected to discord.com.
• The Access-Control-Allow-Headers header in every response from Discord will have user-agent appended to it, since Firefox requires it in the CORS preflight.
• This extension also allows any request to discord.com from projects in GitHub Codespaces to work. (Since Lightcord development use GitHub Codespaces)
