2020100 - Add a train-hoppable asrouter-newtab-message external component for inline messaging

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, task)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

This bug is to build out an external component for newtab that can be used for inline messaging. Critically, the UI of this component will be owned by a team outside of the HNT team via the Expo External Components mechanism. Also critically, this is likely going to be the first component that opts in to train-hopping, so we're broaching new ground here.

This code will live under browser/components/asrouter, but will be bundled into the newtab folders at build time both for the built-in instance of newtab, as well as the train-hopping XPI.

The component name, "asrouter-newtab-message", may seem redundant with the "asrouter" prefix, as it
lives in source code underneath browser/components/asrouter. This was, however, intentional, as during
inspection, it may be handy for the HNT team to know that the external component comes from the asrouter
component folder.
