FR: Add ability to minimize all windows

Project Member Reported by trumbull@chromium.org, Sep 11

Issue description

Currently, there appears to be no way to minimize all windows in Chrome browser. Instead, users need to click (or use the shortcut) to minimize each window individually.

While it's not uncommon for users (particularly Chrome OS users) to have a large number of windows open, making this process cumbersome, particularly after software updates where windows are restored and opened automatically.

[Mac triage] This should already be possible on Mac: option-click the miniaturize button or use cmd+option+M. Please re-add OS=Mac if that doesn't cover this request.
