Zef Hemel ea2ad9a732 Add actionButton.define "command" attribute
This automatically triggers a command bound to an actionButton, and
notably also shows the keyboard shortcut connected to it (if any)

APIs to more conveniently define action buttons (alternative to setting them via regular [[^Library/Std/Config]]).
# API
## actionButton.define(spec)
Keys to define:
* `icon`: [feather icon](https://feathericons.com) to use for your button
* `command` (optional): command name to invoke when clicked. When set, the command's keyboard shortcut is automatically shown in the tooltip. Replaces `run`.
* `run` (optional): function to invoke once the button is pushed. Use this for custom logic that doesn't map to a single command.
* `description` (optional): description of button (appears on hover)
* `priority` (optional): determines priority of button (the higher, the earlier in the list)
* `mobile`: when set to `true` this button will only appear on mobile devices
* `standalone`: when set to `true` this button will only appear in standalone/PWA mode; when `false`, only in browser mode
* `dropdown` (optional): when set to `false`, the button stays visible outside the dropdown menu on mobile (default: `true`)
Either `command` or `run` should be specified.
# Examples
```lua
-- Bind a button to a command (keyboard shortcut shown on hover)
actionButton.define {
icon = "pen-tool",
description = "Start journaling",
command = "Journal: Today",
}
-- Custom button with a run function
actionButton.define {
icon = "eye",
run = function()
editor.setUiOption("forcedROMode", true)
editor.rebuildEditorState()
end
}
```
# Implementation
```space-lua
-- priority: 100
actionButton = actionButton or {}
function actionButton.define(spec)
local actionButtonConfig = config.get("actionButtons", {})
table.insert(actionButtonConfig, spec)
end
```
