Supporting other page editors in the popup #99

Description

@jakemgold

On sites built with a page builder, the popup's Edit button points to the standard WordPress editor, but the builder's own edit link is usually what people actually use (see #87). The admin bar handles this by offering both, and I think the popup should too: keep the standard Edit, and add the site's page editor as a second edit action when we recognize one.

Early thinking on how this stays fair and useful:

  • Recognition is based on simple public criteria, not on which tools maintainers happen to use. Any page editor with meaningful usage and a recognizable edit link should qualify.
  • The list of recognized editors lives in the open in this repo, and anyone can propose additions here.
  • Scope stays limited to page editors, alongside existing developer tooling like Query Monitor. The popup is deliberately not a mirror of the admin bar; turning the admin bar on per site remains the way to get the full toolkit.

If you'd like an editor supported, comment with its name and what its edit link looks like from a page you're viewing (an example URL with the site name redacted is perfect).

Bug fixes are the current priority, so I see this as a future feature release. Feedback on the overall approach is very welcome, this is early thinking.
