Opt in to gather host computer information

[akrigline]

A checkbox to send "hosting information" would be useful. Data gathered could be of an identifying or personal nature however so must be opt-in each time the form opens (or maybe a user setting?).

Desired Data:

• OS, Browser
• Electron app, Self-hosted, Forge Hosted?

For forge hosted, we can check if the "Forge" module exists I think.

Make sure it complies with Data Protection laws, though probably not a concern given this requires the user to willingly opt-in.

Using navigator.userAgent for collecting information about the host browser, etc is getting deprecated slowly. If you need those data it would be better to use client-hints which perfectly fits into the requirements.
