This field defaults to `version`, so there's no need to have it when it's exactly the same. This is one less number to bump during release PRs.

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.

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.

Previously we built DevTools for all browsers with version 2 of the manifest file format.
This commit includes a number of refactors and API additions that will enable us to build DevTools with version 3 of the manifest file format.
The manifest v3 build of Angular DevTools has been tested on Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
Notably, the Firefox version of Angular DevTools remains as a manifest v2 build. Firefox does not yet support manifest v3 in it's latest stable release. When Firefox makes this transition, a follow up PR will update the Firefox manifest file to version 3.
Because Firefox still needs v2, we need to keep some old v2 APIs around in our background page (service worker in v3) that will execute conditionally based on if the extension was built for v2 or v3. This is determined with the chrome.runtime.getManifest().manifest_version API.
