chore[DevTools]: make clipboardWrite optional for chromium (#32262)
Addresses https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/32244.

### Chromium
We will use
[chrome.permissions](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/permissions)
for checking / requesting `clipboardWrite` permission before copying
something to the clipboard.

### Firefox
We will keep `clipboardWrite` as a required permission, because there is
no reliable and working API for requesting optional permissions for
extensions that are extending browser DevTools:
- `chrome.permissions` is unavailable for devtools pages -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1796933
- You can't call `chrome.permissions.request` from background, because
this instruction has to be executed inside user-event callback,
basically only initiated by user.

I don't really want to come up with solutions like opening a new tab
with a button that user has to click.

This is the source code for the React DevTools browser extension.

Installation

The easiest way to install this extension is as a browser add-on:

Local development

You can also build and install this extension from source.

Prerequisite steps

DevTools depends on local versions of several NPM packages1 also in this workspace. You'll need to either build or download those packages first.

1 Note that at this time, an experimental build is required because DevTools depends on the createRoot API.

To install all necessary dependencies, run the following command from the root of the repository:

yarn install

Build from source

To build dependencies from source, run the following command from the root of the repository:

yarn build-for-devtools

Download from CI

To use the latest build from CI, run the following commands starting from the root of the repository:

cd scripts/release
yarn install
./download-experimental-build.js

Build steps

Once the above packages have been built or downloaded, you can build the extension by running:

cd packages/react-devtools-extensions/

yarn build:chrome # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/chrome/build
yarn run test:chrome # Test Chrome extension

yarn build:firefox # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/firefox/build
yarn run test:firefox # Test Firefox extension

yarn build:edge # => packages/react-devtools-extensions/edge/build
yarn run test:edge # Test Edge extension
