frontend-plugin-api: support feature-level predicates

Browse Source 
This lets plugin and module instances apply a shared condition to all of their extensions, while preserving extension-level conditions by combining them with logical AND during app spec resolution.

Adds `prepareSpecializedApp` as a new two-phase app wiring API for rendering a bootstrap tree before full app finalization. The bootstrap phase is exposed as a partial app tree through `getBootstrapApp()`, while `onFinalized()` provides a one-way handoff to the finalized app once bootstrap completes. The opaque reusable `sessionState` is returned from the finalized app and can be passed into a future `prepareSpecializedApp` call to skip sign-in and reuse the prepared session. Conditional `app/root.elements` and predicate-gated APIs are now deferred until finalization, while unsupported bootstrap-visible predicates are downgraded to warnings and bootstrap extensions now surface warnings if they accessed APIs that only became available after finalization. The existing `createSpecializedApp` API is now deprecated and backed by `prepareSpecializedApp().finalize()`, while `createApp` has been updated to use the same prepare/finalize flow.

The `if` option is also now supported on `createFrontendPlugin` and `createFrontendModule`, and is applied to each extension from that feature together with any extension-level predicate.
