webextension-polyfill: Update to latest type definitions from Firefox

[josh-berry]

Major schema changes include:

• New contextualIdentities APIs for remembering Firefox-native associations between websites and containers
• The new publicSuffix API for identifying domains that are "public suffixes", or domains under which anyone can register their own subdomains (e.g. com, co.uk, etc.).
• The new documentId property across various APIs, used to uniquely identify a document loaded in a tab or frame.
• The new splitViewId property for identifying tabs that are part of a split view.
• userScript.execute(), for injecting scripts into a specific tab.
• Additional theming type definitions in manifest.

Hey @josh-berry,

😒 Your PR doesn't modify any tests, so it's hard to know what's being fixed, and your changes might regress in the future. Please consider adding tests to cover the change you're making. Including tests allows this PR to be merged by yourself and the owners of this module.

This can potentially save days of time for you!

[typescript-automation]

🔔 @Lusito @mnoorenberghe — please review this PR in the next few days. Be sure to explicitly select Approve or Request Changes in the GitHub UI so I know what's going on.

[jakebailey]

Does this need a version bump at all?

[josh-berry]

@jakebailey Are you asking about the minor version number? Historically we have only done that for breaking changes, which these are not (unless I've missed something).

[jakebailey]

Yes, just checking, in case the version was tied to some upstream version.

[typescript-automation]

@josh-berry: Everything looks good here. I am ready to merge this PR (at bc8d355) on your behalf whenever you think it's ready.

If you'd like that to happen, please post a comment saying:

Ready to merge

and I'll merge this PR almost instantly. Thanks for helping out! ❤️

(@Lusito, @mnoorenberghe: you can do this too.)
