1768839 - Use "browser action" API for the `action` namespace on Android

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: General, defect)

Description

[William Durand [:willdurand]]

On Android, loading a MV3 extension with a browser action (using action in the manifest) works but registering an event listener will fail and the error message is:

No browser action for <ADD-ON ID HERE>

This error message is thrown in TestRunnerActivity.java#520 but the problem is that we don't have a valid handler in ExtensionParent.jsm#1129.

I think this is because we didn't register the "browser action" extension API for action in ext-android.json.

I chose to write a minimal test case and defer more test coverage to Bug
1723763 since this bug already existed. The change in ext-android.json
is similar to what has been done in D113461.
