Alex Hunt 9efcdfc2b4 Drop chrome-launcher dependency (#57630)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/57630

**Motivation**

- Flagged as a papercut by Expo: `chrome-launcher` (and `chromium-edge-launcher`) constitute duplicate code (vs Expo's vendored version), and we can lighten our core package by dropping these dependencies.
- `launchDebuggerAppWindow` is now a fallback (since the rollout of the RNDT desktop shell), and we can reasonably delegate more rigorous browser detection to frameworks.

**This diff**

Remove both `chrome-launcher` dependencies and their usages in the `launchDebuggerAppWindow` code path. In their place, use `open` (bumped to 8.x)'s `openApp` API for Chrome only.

Changelog:
[General][Changed] - **React Native DevTools**: When using the fallback flow for launching DevTools (desktop app fails to launch), Microsoft Edge will not be attempted. DevTools will open as a standard window in the default browser.
