💥 Remove deprecated strategy from plugin API

[thomas-lebeau]

Motivation

Simplification and code removal. The strategy property on OnRumStartOptions was deprecated in favor of addEvent. Removing it for v7.

Customers using rum-react or custom plugins that rely on strategy will need to upgrade to use addEvent instead. This API may be used by customers in the wild, but it is unsupported.

Changes

• Remove strategy property from OnRumStartOptions interface
• Remove Strategy type import from plugins.ts
• Stop passing strategy in the callPluginsMethod call in rumPublicApi.ts

Test instructions

• yarn typecheck should pass
• Verify no remaining references to strategy in the plugin API

Checklist

• Tested locally
• Tested on staging
• Added unit tests for this change.
• Added e2e/integration tests for this change.
• Updated documentation and/or relevant AGENTS.md file
