Since Manifest V3, the service worker (background) gets terminated after 30s of inactivity. This can break the initialization phase of DevTools or the BE-FE communication channel, if already initialized. To prevent that, we emit a heartbeat in a >30s interval.
- Stop indefinite `detectAngular` messages after the backend is installed.
- Do not attempt handshake with the BE (from content scripts) until it's installed.
- Removed unused code and imports
- Migrated to signal-based input() APIs
- Added readonly to Angular-initialized inputs and removed explicit type annotations
- Updated templates to use self-closing tags for consistency
Fix the URIs by stripping any query parameters and/or fragments from the compound URLs, since they may prevent the extension from successfully establishing a handshake in some instances.

One common problem encountered by the devtools content script is that it accepted almost any message send over the message bus. Some websites like `auth.openai.com` were spamming the bus and DDOS the devtools app.
By introducing event tagging and skipping non-devtools events we prevent DDOS of the Angular devtools content script by on forward tagged events.

On clicking a route in the router tree, the route details panel is displayed.
- The panel shows the details of the selected route, including the path, component, providers, guards etc.
- Clicking on a chip will navigate to the corresponding source file in the editor.
- Clicking on the path will navigate to the corresponding route in the router tree.

Previously the `frameUrl` option in `chrome.devtools.inspectedWindow.eval` would throw errors when used in Firefox, preventing inspect source functionality for firefox users even if they don't need to target a particular frame on the page (they are on the top level frame with Angular DevTools).
Now this behaviour is as follows:
Firefox user that has the top level frame selected -> DevTools inspect functionality works as expected.
Firefox user that has a non-top level frame selected -> DevTools now renders a snackbar message informing the user of the limitation.

- Move all styles to ng-devtools/src/styles.
- Create a BrowserService that detects the browsers and adds it as a class to the body. Move global browser styles.
- Create theme mixins that incorporate the browser type into them.
- Refactor some of the affected code along with the introduced changes.

When a browser extension is updated it becomes invalidated on currently open pages. If that extension then tries to send a message to those pages through `chrome.runtime.sendMessage(..)` then an error is thrown in the console
For Angular DevTools, this results in spamming the console with "Uncaught Error: Extension context invalidated." errors.
This commit catches that error and removes the event listener that triggers the `chrome.runtime.sendMessage(...)` call.

This change is a proof of concept of how the new Chrome DevTools
Performance extension API (https://bit.ly/rpp-e11y) can be used to
surface Angular runtime data directly in the Chrome DevTools Performance
panel.
Specifically, it implements the following changes:
1. Use the profiling status notification API to toggle the Timing API:
The notification API is implemented under the
chrome.devtools.performance extension namespace and consits of two
events: ProfilingStarted and ProfilingStopped, dispatched when the
Performance panel has started and stopped recording, respectively. This
API is used to enable the Timings API when the recording has started in
the Performance panel and disable it when recording has stopped.
2. Use the User Timings `detail` field format specification of the
Performance extension API
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Performance_API/User_timing)
to inject data collected by the Angular Profiler into the
Performance panel timeline. Angular Profiler uses several hooks to
measure framework tasks like change detection. With this change, this
measurements are visible in the same context as the runtime data
collected by the browser in the Performance Panel timeline.
Note: to enable the user timings to be collected in the first place, one
needs to open the Angular DevTools panel so that the related artifacts
are loaded in the page. This shortcoming can be fixed in a follow up so
that the extra step isn't necessary.

Angular DevTools depends on many modern Angular features in order to function. As a result, at present the last officially supported version is v12. Angular DevTools may function for some Angular 9, 10 and 11 applications, but they are not officially supported.
This commit fixes an issue where DevTools would not inject a backend script into an Angular application if it detected it was below version 12. This backend script is important because it's used to inform the DevTools panel that the inspected application is in fact Angular, but that it is not on a supported version.
Angular 9, 10 and 11 applications that successfully have Angular DevTools initialize will now have a red highlight and tooltip on their version number, informing the user that they are using Angular DevTools on a version of Angular that is no longer supported.
Angular DevTools for applications that are below version 9 will continue to display the "Angular Devtools supports Angular versions 12 and above" message.

Previously, a race condition could cause DevTools to enter a state where it can't detect an application on reload. This was caused by a sequencing issue between the content script connection, the devtools panel connection and an event "backendReady" that lets DevTools know when a particular frame is ready to be inspected.
This commit replaces the previously stored backendReady boolean with a promise, so that the devtools panel can eventually run a callback to connect to a content script when that content script emits it's backendReady message.

In the Angular DevTools Chrome DevTools page:
- Angular DevTools is able to ask the background script to list each frame that has been registered on a page.
- Angular Devtools is able to ask the background script to "enable" the connection on a particular frame. This enables the messaging between the content script <-> background script <-> devtools page
- Implements detection of non unique urls on the inspected page
Limitations:
- The `inspectedWindow.eval` API is only able to target frames by frameURL. This means some features that integrate with Chrome DevTools like inspect element and open source will not be available when inspecting frames that do not have a unique url on the page.

Modifies the messaging layer of devtools to allow for switching communication between frames on a page. When served as a browser extension.
Design:
- When a page renders, DevTools installs a content script onto it through it's manifest file. The all_frames option is used here to install this script onto every frame in a page.
- When Angular is detected, the content script will install a backend script into it's frame.
- Each content script / backend script pairing is kept track of in the background script. This pairing represents an angular devtools context in a particular frame.
- Angular DevTools is able to ask the background script to list each frame that has been registered on a page.
- Angular Devtools is able to ask the background script to "enable" the connection on a particular frame. This enables the messaging between the content script <-> background script <-> devtools page
Limitations:
- The `inspectedWindow.eval` API is only able to target frames by frameURL. This means some features that integrate with Chrome DevTools like inspect element and open source will not be available when inspecting frames that do not have a unique url on the page.
