This stamping is interfering with publishing to the Firefox addons store by brining in the entirety of the `.git` directory as part of the source code necessary for a reproducible build, which Firefox requires as part of it's approval process.
In it's place, we are now using the extension version pulled from the manifest.

This key comes from the release build of the Chrome extension. Setting it here configures the extension ID of a local build to match the extension ID of the public release. This makes Chrome recognize that local builds are the same extension leading to more intuitive behavior. It's also useful for allowlists of extension IDs to keep the local ID consistent.

Mozilla requires add-ons to have reproducible builds and this is managed directly by human reviewers and need to understand how to build Angular DevTools correctly. This commit defines a reproducible way of building Angular DevTools which is useful for reviewers and contributers.
The actual changes I made include:
1. Moving local development content into `devtools/README` (deleting `devtools/DEVELOPING.md`) and explicitly stating the Node version as well as global Yarn install to be clear about the correct way to build the extension. This should make it easier for reviewers to understand and reproduce builds.
2. Moving release instructions to a separate doc to reduce noise as well as making some minor clean ups there.
I briefly considered pointing reviewers at a new `devtools/docs/reviewers.md` doc, but decided against it because I want these instructions to be maintained in a single location where contributors and reviewers use the same content. This way any changes don't miss one of these sets of users. If reviewers have trouble with this format (dev builds isn't useful to reviewers and some content is repeated from other docs for contributors) then we can consider splitting out to a separate `reviewers.md` file. But until then, I'd like to try sharing this content and see how it works out in practice.

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

The version of rxjs used to build the repository has been updated to v7.
This required only minimal changes to the code. Most of which were type
related only due to more strict types in v7. The behavior in those cases
was left intact. The most common type related change was to handle the
possibility of `undefined` with `toPromise` which was always possible with
v6 but the types did not reflect the runtime behavior. The one change that
was not type related was to provide a parameter value to the `defaultIfEmpty`
operator. It no longer defaults to a value of `null` if no default is provided.
To provide the same behavior the value of `null` is now passed to the operator.

Enabling `strict` is part of an effort to improve the quality of the devtools code base.
One of the direct side effect is to enable `noImplicitAny`, `strictPropertyInitialization` and `strictBindCallApply`.
This commit also replaces `fullTemplateTypeCheck` with `stringTemplates`.

Previously, some versions of Angular 16.1.x that had 3/4 of the new DI debug APIs would enter a code path that required them to have access to the 4th.
Now DevTools checks for the existence of all 4 explicitly before going down this code path.
