In browsers that support the File System Access API (only Chromium browsers currently), it is now possible to re-open the last selected archive automatically if the user has given permanent access permissions.
This is a great step towards giving the app native-level UX.
However, there are situations where this could be annoying, so we need to provide a UI option to disable auto-loading.
Nota bene: this does not re-open the last read article like in Kiwix PWA, as that would require more code and more UI to avoid privacy concerns. It might be added in the future.
Fixes #1218.
