release: package the extension, pin the Chrome extension id, and prove the wallet survives a reinstall (closes #310)

There was no packaging target anywhere, no artifact, and no `key` in
`manifest/chrome.json` — so an unpacked Chrome load derived its extension
id, and therefore its `chrome.storage.local` partition, from the absolute
checkout path. Moving or re-cloning the checkout presented an empty
wallet, with no error and nothing in the UI to say so.

`manifest/chrome.json` now carries a fixed `key`: the public half of an
RSA keypair, which pins the extension id to
`gipbhkogfopeahplcjhipkgpcimdpkip`. The private half is a credential and
is not in this repo; no target generates one into the working tree, and
`tests/extensionId.test.js` fails if a `.pem` is ever committed. Changing
`key` changes the id and orphans every wallet stored under the old one.

`make package` (script/package) runs `make build` — the only audited path
to a release build — and writes one self-contained, versioned archive per
browser into `release/`, plus `SHA256SUMS`. The archives are deterministic:
entries sorted, timestamps fixed, compression level fixed, so two builds
of one commit are byte-identical. Self-containment is checked rather than
assumed: every path the manifests and the popup HTML reference is resolved
and required to be inside the archive, a reference that climbs out of the
extension root is a hard failure, and files left at the `dist/` root —
`dist/styles.css`, which build.js copies into each browser directory — are
reported as deliberately not shipped rather than dropped by a glob. The
archive is then read back off disk and compared member by member against
the directory it was built from. The zip writer and reader are stdlib zlib
in `script/lib/zip.js`; no new dependency, and nothing unpinned.

One version, enforced rather than generated. `script/lib/version.js`
requires `package.json`, `manifest/chrome.json` and `manifest/firefox.json`
to agree and fails the build naming each file and what it said, instead of
reading from one of the three. `BUILD_COMMIT` now carries `-dirty` when the
working tree does not match `HEAD`, and `-unknown` when git cannot say;
the full hash behind the About screen's commit link stays clean so the link
still resolves.

Two real-browser observations, both run through the pinned harnesses:

- `tests/e2e/storagePartition.js` loads the build from two different paths
  in one Chrome profile. With `key`: same id, and the second load reads the
  first load's storage. Without `key`: different ids, and the second load
  sees an empty partition. Loading both keyed copies at once yields one id,
  not two.
- `tests/e2e/firefox/reinstall.js` installs the packaged XPI in a real
  Firefox, creates a wallet, quits the browser, restarts on the same
  profile, adds the add-on again, and decrypts the vault back to the
  original recovery phrase. It then observes that an explicit uninstall
  DESTROYS that storage — correct browser behaviour, but for a wallet it
  means Remove is irreversible except from the recovery phrase, so
  README.md says so.

Firefox ships an UNSIGNED XPI. README.md states plainly that release
Firefox and ESR will refuse it, that Developer Edition, Nightly or an
Unbranded build is required, and that a temporary add-on does not survive
a browser restart. AMO signing, CRX packing, tagging and any upload are
deliberately out of scope.

// Does the wallet survive being installed again on Firefox?
//
// This is the question behind
// https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/310, and it is the one property
// that has to hold before real money goes into this extension. The only route
// that works on release Firefox is a TEMPORARY add-on, which is unloaded when
// the browser exits: daily use means adding it again from about:debugging on
// every browser start. If extension storage did not survive that, every start
// would present an empty wallet and the recovery phrase would be the only copy
// of the money.
//
// manifest/firefox.json declares a fixed browser_specific_settings.gecko.id,
// which is the right SHAPE for storage to survive — Firefox keys the storage
// area by add-on id — but shape is not observation, and nothing asserted it.
//
// Two different things are asked here, because they have different answers and
// conflating them would be the whole mistake:
//
// RESTART one profile, two browser runs, the add-on added temporarily
// in each. This is what a user does every day, and the vault
// has to survive it.
// REMOVAL an explicit uninstall, the way about:addons "Remove" works,
// inside one browser run. Firefox destroys an add-on's storage
// when it is uninstalled, and the observed result is recorded
// here rather than wished away — for a wallet it means Remove
// is irreversible except from the recovery phrase.
//
// The vault is not merely compared as bytes in the restart case. It is
// DECRYPTED with the original password through the real Show Recovery Phrase
// screen and the phrase is compared against the one wallet creation produced,
// because "the ciphertext is still in storage" and "the wallet still works"
// are different claims and only the second one is worth anything.
//
// Run through script/test-e2e-firefox, which builds the artifact and the
// pinned container. The one argument is what to install — an unpacked
// directory or an .xpi. With none, the packaged XPI in release/ is used, so
// this doubles as the check that the release artifact installs in a real
// Firefox.
