Description

This PR adds a "quickbar" chip that emulates the search button found in the top right of the UI. It can additionally be set to search by entity, device, or command (identical to the e, d, and c hotkeys).

Motivation and Context

As mentioned in the issue, many users (myself included) prefer to hide the top navigation bar for more of a minimalist UI, but this removes the search functionality. This chip restores the functionality (and enhances it a smidge by giving more search options). It does this by simply sending a KeyboardEvent with the relevant hotkey button press. If there's a more robust way to trigger the quickbar, please let me know and I'd be happy to tweak this.

I also wanted to implement an "Edit Dashboard" chip, but couldn't find a good way to trigger that button.

How Has This Been Tested

I tested this in the dev setup described in the README, as well as running it on my instance for a few months now. I additionally added it to the chips-view.yaml as a simple test that things work.

I'm far from a typescript export, but I don't believe this should cause any issues with existing code.
