Description

Right now we only allow for loading in a profile by file:

It would be nice to have a button that say something like "Load existing profile" that when clicks loads a dropdown with the option to:

* [x] Load from URL (supported in the code, but not surfaced in the UI)
* [x] Load from File (already existing feature)
* [ ] Load from Clipboard (new feature)

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing home-screen file-loading UI and the supported URL-loading path, then identify where the new profile-loading choices belong. The work is done when the home screen exposes Load from URL, Load from File, and Load from Clipboard, with clipboard loading working alongside the existing options.
