Enabling minimization of stop sharing UI

Project Member Reported by jamiewa...@chromium.org, May 23 2017 
Many users have commented on how intrusive the stop sharing UI on the host is. We should look for users to minimize it, so it doesn't get in the way. Two potential (not mutually exclusive) options include:

-Adding a hide button on the UI, which puts it in the systray on platforms that have one.
-Adding a hide button on the UI. Local input automatically pops it up again.

Let's put together a proof-of-concept that automatically hides after a few seconds and reshows on local input. This has the advantage of requiring little to no platform-specific code; in the longer term, we probably want to update the UI to something a bit more modern.

Quick comment that we could consider adding a standard menu bar to the dialog.  This would indicate to users that it is draggable (several user reviews have stated that they believe it to be fixed in place which it isn't) and we could also consider allowing it to be minimized.

We could pulse the notification (or use a toast / platform specific mechanism) if it is minimzed and we see local input.  Allowing minimize would prevent the problem of having the dialog appear under mouse/touch input too.
