Description
Now that capa has both UI for IDA and Ghidra, it would good to also have a binary ninja UI.
Previously, Willi and I discussed the possibility to share some code with the IDA UI. But I grew skeptical on that recently, since that could make the code harder to maintain (the maintainer needs to have good knowledge of both BN and IDA API & UI), and it will take longer to get the initial version working. So maybe a BN plugin can be written from scratch, and it can re-use some of the IDA UI's code (by duplicating it, but not necessarily using the exact same file).

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing IDA and Ghidra UI implementations and the Binary Ninja plugin APIs, then determine the initial plugin scope and how it should share or duplicate UI code. Done means an agreed design and a working Binary Ninja UI, but the issue does not define its required capabilities.
