feat: Switch between QR or phone number pairing method

[MobCode100]

PR Details

The ability to change the preferred login/authentication method either use QR code or pair with a phone number (Linked devices -> Link a device -> Link with phone number instead).

Description

1. Added new option pairWithPhoneNumber which is an object containing the parameters for requestPairingCode function in Client.js. The attributes of this object are:
   • phoneNumber: Phone number in international, symbol-free format <COUNTRY_CODE><PHONE_NUMBER>
   • showNotification: Show notification to pair for the specified phone number
     - intervalMs: The interval in milliseconds on how frequent to generate pairing code (WhatsApp default to 3 minutes)
2. On code and window.onCodeReceivedEvent event will run a callback once a code has been generated.

The inject function in Client.js will check if the phoneNumber option is set, and will switch to phone number pairing mode without running any QR related functions. intervalMs is the time to wait for the next generation of code to mitigate the problem of expired code.

Motivation and Context

1. Make it easier to user the requestPairingCode without having to manually utilize the function
2. The code feels cleaner this way, normalizing the authentication method of QR and phone number
3. Automatically generate new pairing code on/before expired.

How Has This Been Tested

To run or test this feature, run node app.js where app.js contains the following code:

const { Client, LocalAuth } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
const client = new Client(
    {
        puppeteer: {
            args: ['--no-sandbox'],
            headless: false
        },
        authStrategy: new LocalAuth({ dataPath: "." }),
        pairWithPhoneNumber: {
            phoneNumber: "12324354646",
            showNotification: true,
        },
    }
);
client.on('code', (code) => {
    console.log("Linking code:",code);
});
client.initialize();

The pairing code should be displayed to the terminal every 3 minutes (WhatsApp current default). Developer tools are used to inspect some variables while running in non-headless mode. So far, no issues have been encountered during testing on QR code functions or any other existing features.

@alechkos I've removed the need for custom interval by using regular expression to read the JavaScript content. Hope this can be merged soon.
