Thegreatsuspender: Support for the new beta tab groups

[minig0d]

There are a couple open issues but both appear to be somewhat bug reports and not directly regarding this. Chrome Canary has released the new tab group functionality and it can be enabled in stable/beta channel by enabling the flag chrome://flags/#tab-groups . Being brand new it hasn't caught on to mainstream use yet, but it is likely to be highly utilized by users of this extension, so wanted to get the jump on formally request support.

In alignment with existing functionality, the ability to:

• Suspend/Unsuspend the group of tabs at once
• Never suspend the group of tabs

An even more advanced function which just makes too much sense not to mention with this would be the ability to:

• Set a different suspend time per group (ex. may want to leave a group of work-related tabs up for 60 minutes, but allow social media tabs to suspend after 15)

The chrome.tabs API doesn't expose any of the tab groups functionality yet, so it isn't yet possible for an extension to tell if a tab is in a group or not.

extending #818 from windows to tab groups also seems interesting.
combining the features would mean that if any groups are defined in the current window, the current group (or just tab, if it's not grouped) is the reference, otherwise the whole window is.

The most recent update on the chromium tracker implies that the tab groups API will be Manifest 3 only, which will probably requires some updating throughout the codebase.

Just went searching to see what information was published... and I believe this is the tracker that mfultz just referenced: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1106846

The last post mentions that chrome.tabGroups is available in Dev/Canary (does require Manifest v3).

But given the amount of recent activity on the issue, it does sound like it's going to be something released sooner rather than later. Yay!
