Too many keep-in-syncs to be manageable.

Instead of a separate "Browsers available to attach via extension" section, each discovered browser now reports extension status first (attach command if installed, install URL otherwise), followed by its current remote debugging status.
Each discovered browser now renders two `attach (extension)` / `attach (remote debugging)` lines showing either the ready-to-run `playwright-cli attach` command or the install/enable link. Removes the dead `remoteDebuggingHint` helper.
Edge channels show `edge://inspect/#remote-debugging` instead of the Chrome-only URL when surfacing the remote-debugging enablement hint.
