Rocket.chat.electron: Add screen sharing support

[fabiogermann]

It would be great to have a desktop app that could share the screen.
(Like the chrome/firefox extension) (possible inspiration: https://github.com/maxogden/screencat)

Would really like to see this feature added. The desktop application is the only application that consistently does webcam/voice calls well in my testing. Unfortunately the screenshare feature isn't there, so we still end up going back to the buggy webapp versions.

thanks!

The main difference between other chat solutions currently available and rocketchat is the working screenshare functionality - it is basically the only issue preventing us from switching to RocketChat. On a side note it seems to me that having that button without the working functionality is like a bug.

May want to consider partnering with a service like talky.io for this, since they've already done all the heavy lifting.
