Add standalone (electron) shell #451

Vue-Devtools is an essential piece of the Vue ecosystem, but it is currently tied to a web browser.

It would be really nice if we had a tiny electron shell that can run the devtools without a browser, with the ability to remotely debug Vue apps.

For example, I would love to bring Vue devtools to nativescript-vue.

I'm not very familiar with the codebase, but as far as I can tell we could add a new shell, which would start an electron app, and a websocket server. The websocket server would be the bridge, and it would require a separate package to serve as the client.

(Side note: I found it a little confusing that the "client" side is called a backend, but that might be due to a different mindset.)

If someone more familiar with devtools wants to chat and get this going, I'm available!
