Implement options page for setting default preferences in Chromium extension

[Rob--W]

A nice-to-have.

The most commonly requested preferences are changing the default zoom level and the default hand tool setting.

See #3985

It'd be nice if the feature in #3985 is self-contained. Then it can be put on an options page, which is the Chromium way of configuring an extension.

At the suggestion of @yurydelendik, I've started looking into implementing a preferences page for the Firefox versions of PDF.js.
One of my goals with this is that it should be as reusable as possible, so that it with a small effort could be used in e.g. the Chrome extension too.
I've just started working on this, hence I'm not sure when I'll have the first prototype done (but I'm hoping to have something to show next week).

I have already started with the implementation of preference management in
Chrome (integrated in the preferences module). Could you focus on the UI?

I'm writing user documentation for administrators and then I'll submit a PR.

Given that the storage back-ends are different in Firefox and Chrome, I don't think that it should be much overlap there anyway. (And you would obviously still need to add Chrome specific code to preferences.js, so I'm hoping that what I'm doing can still be of some use in Chrome too.)
