No browser chosen, no "Open on" button

CI / Typecheck, test, build (pull_request) Successful in 26s

Details

The plain address is the one thing that button must not offer -- followed
in the browser the rewrite rules are installed in, it comes straight back
here -- so there is nothing to show until there is a browser to hand it to.
The copy button and the selectable URL were always the part carrying the
weight; the open link now ships hidden and the script reveals it along with
the scheme.

That also settles what the button should say. It went back to "Open on
<platform>": the browser's name was there to explain a tap that went
nowhere, and a button that is not shown until it works needs no such
explanation.

Let the "Open on" button choose a browser

CI / Typecheck, test, build (pull_request) Successful in 28s

Details

The StopTheMadness rules are indiscriminate, which is the point, but they
catch the link on the way back out as well: in the browser they are
installed in, "Open on <platform>" redirects straight back here. The one
button meant to reach the app is the one that cannot.

Handing the address to a different browser is the way past it, and the only
way to do that from a page is that browser's own URL scheme. `/` gets a
picker for which one; the choice lives in that browser's localStorage,
because which browsers are installed is a fact about the device and the
phone's answer is not the Mac's.

The scheme table is its own module so a test can pin it -- every browser
spells it differently, and Edge differs between macOS and iOS. Firefox has
no scheme on macOS, so it is only offered on iOS, and an unknown or
schemeless choice keeps the plain link rather than producing a dead one.
The markup still carries the plain https address and the script swaps it
afterwards, so nothing changes without JavaScript. Once a browser is
chosen the button says which, since a scheme for a browser that is not
installed opens nothing and the tap would otherwise be silent.
