Need a Chrome extension API to capture a full page screenshot

Reported by jasonsav...@gmail.com, Jul 24 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Feature request

What is the expected behavior?
I suggest adding an API to capture the whole page, since recently Chrome's DevTools allow you to capture a full size screenshot of a webpage (it will actually scrolls down)
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/devtools-release-notes#screenshots

Chrome's extension API is currently limited to capturing the "visible" part of the page: chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs#method-captureVisibleTab
I suggest adding chrome.tabs.captureEntirePage

What went wrong?
Missing an API

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.115  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version:

This sounds like the chrome.pageCapture API - any reason that won't work?  (It will be in MHTML instead of a data url, but should satisfy many use cases.)

Archiving given the lack of activity and the existing APIs that seem to serve similar purposes.
