feat: Add option to strip `workspace:` protocol from dependencies in zipped sources

[darthmaim]

Overview

This adds a new option zip.stripWorkspaceProtocol to strip the workspace: protocol from dependencies when zipping the sources. All package managers except npm do this when publishing packages[^1], and since creating the zip is a form of publishing, wxt should do the same.

This is an option defaulting to false, as some people zip monorepos using sourcesRoot: '../..', or similar, where the workspace: protocol should be kept.

Note that this only strips the prefix for now (so workspace:* becomes *, instead of replacing *, ^ and ~ with the version defined in the workspace like the package managers do.

Manual Testing

Create a new extension in a monorepo depending on a workspace dependency, and then create the zip using wxt zip -b firefox. Check the generated package.json in the sources.zip.

I was sadly not able to write a e2e test for this, as all the tests run with --ignore-workspace added at various points. Maybe the e2e tests could be improved to create the projects in a path outside the wxt repo (maybe /tmp/wxt-e2e/<id>, instead of e2e/dist/<id>, so scenarios using workspace could be tested.

[^1]: Here is the documentation of the different package managers on how they handle workspace:: pnpm / yarn / deno / bun
