Pin Dropper For Street View Extension

This adds an extension button that, if pressed while within Google Street View, will open a new tab with a pin dropped at the GPS coordinates for that Street View Location.

Ordinarily, Google uses the address, rather than coordinates - this works fine in cities but very poorly in the countryside.

Example use case: I'm looking for a gate into a rural field. Click through on Street View, once you find what you're looking for, click the icon and new window will open with the pin where you want it!
