Problem/Motivation

There is no way to navigate to the preview link generate form from entity list/admin pages (e.g. /admin/content). The generate form is only accessible via a local task tab on the entity edit page, but this tab is not always visible — for example when using editors like Mercury Editor that replace the standard node edit page with a custom interface.

Steps to reproduce

Enable the preview_link module.
Go to /admin/content.
Open the "Operations" dropdown for any node.
Notice there is no "Preview link" option.

Proposed resolution

Implement hook_entity_operation() in preview_link.module to add a "Preview link" entry to the entity operations dropdown, linking to the preview-link-generate route. The operation is only shown when the entity type is supported, the entity is not new, and the current user has the generate preview links permission.
