Allow launcher external application with volume controls

This can be closed out if you like, it's just a suggestion.

I discovered while using PICO-8 that the game has no build in volume controls. It expects the host system to have either hardware volume controls or system controls.

Because of this it's not possible to adjust the volume in-game without some script to manage the gameshell keybindings.

I wrote a script to do this here: https://gist.github.com/follower46/69cdc41d9dc09cf9fe97b48ec4036158
We could add the option in the launcher so if an application needed it, bindings could be given to manage the volume.

This could be extended in the future to also map menu to terminate the process.

I'll just keep it with the community, then :-)
