Capture full page screenshot from an extension

Reported by craig.fr...@gmail.com, Oct 25

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.77 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Either add a new API; or update `chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab()` so that it allows a full screen capture via the `options` parameter.

https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs#method-captureVisibleTab

Ideally this would work like the "capture full size screenshot" feature that was added to the Developer Tools in Chrome 59 (June 2017):

Just for context, this is needed for an extension I've created to stop animations (an accessibility tool), where I'd like to create a single screenshot that allows the user to view the whole page, rather than having to wait for a new screenshot to be created every time they scroll.

Duping. The other bug wasn't deleted but accidentally marked as Google-only. I opened it.
