[feature] Electron-like asar archive support

[wizzard0]

Electron apps can bundle JS code in the asar archive and transparently access files from there.

Is something similar possible for launchUI apps? Would like to avoid deploying tons of small assets as separate files, along with the other reasons discussed at https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/application-packaging

Electron supports asar by patching fs and some other Node modules at runtime, so theoretically it should be possible to port the related code and do the same in LaunchUI. It’s hard do say how much work it would require though.
