1690076 - Move PiP overrides from webcompat add-on into its own system addon

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Video/Audio Controls, task, P3)

Description

This would make it easier for us to continue adding site-specific PiP fixes/features independent of the WebCompat addon. There's been a discussion about this in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1670108#c9.

We should be creating a separate directory to house the standalone Picture-in-Picture web extension. To get started:

• Create a directory called pictureinpicture at browser/extensions/
• Create a moz.build and manifest.json with the necessary information required for creating a web extension. See the WebCompat Addon for an example.

Next, we want to move the PiP overrides and experimental APIs initially created in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D57375 to this folder. I think it's fine if we keep the initial folder structure for now.
