Description

Add a feature to dynamically update the Toolbar button for the current page, displaying an "enabled" icon if Angular is detected in the page and a "disabled" icon otherwise.

The LiveReload extension can provide an example on dynamically changing the icon.

Research direction
Study the LiveReload extension's icon changing logic for reference. Examine the current ng inspector extension's background script (likely background.js) and toolbar icon assets. Check comment #78 on the original issue for additional details on the desired behavior. Investigate how the extension detects Angular on the page to determine icon state.
