Motivation
Chrome has deprecated support for Manifest V2. I'm in a corporate environment so we've been able to use it this year but that ends in 2023. When Chrome drops Manifest V2 support Violentmonkey won't work anymore. Side note, MS Edge won't run Manifest V2 extensions anymore starting January, 2024.
Proposed Solution
Modify the project to use a V3 manifest, completely replacing V2.

Use Cases
When a browser does not support Manifest V2, Violentmonkey can still be installed and used.
