On macOS, videos embedded in Zulip Desktop could not enter fullscreen
mode because the app's permission handler did not explicitly grant
fullscreen permissions.
This commit updates the `ipcRenderer.on("permission-request")` handler
to include fullscreen, in addition to existing permissions such as
notifications. With this change, video players (e.g., YouTube and
Zulip-embedded media) can properly request fullscreen.
Tested on macOS to confirm fullscreen now works, and on Windows/Linux
to ensure no regressions.
Fixes zulip#1409.
