Extension usage

Now you should be able to open any problem inside the https://leetcode.com/problemset/all/ problem set and see the extension in action.
The problem description is hidden and three buttons are displayed, allowing to start the exercise with three modalities:

• With a visible running stopwatch in the lower right corner and remote tracking of the submission results
• With a hidden running stopwatch and remote tracking of the submission results
• Without any LeetPlug feature: no stopwatch nor submission tracking

When the selected problem already has some custom code in the solution panel and the user select to proceed with remote tracking, the extension propose to reset the current code to start from a clean situation. It uses the LeetCode event, triggering the alert window:

If you confirm, the current code is wiped out and you need to click again on the LeetPlug selection button to start the exercise.
When a problem is started with the time tracking option, the stopwatch is started. The system track all the submissions, including the failed ones, until the first acceped. All the records are sent to the remote server for later visualisation.
