🦉 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

[MelvinBot]

This is a minor version upgrade for web-ext, a command-line tool for developing WebExtensions.

Analysis:

• The releases between 8.3.0 and 8.8.0 consist of new features, bug fixes, and dependency updates.
• v8.8.0: Adds a --chromium-pref flag and removes the node-notifier dependency, which means the tool will no longer show desktop notifications.
• v8.7.0: The lint command now emits a new warning if an add-on ID is missing in the manifest.

These changes are not considered breaking for typical command-line usage. No APIs were removed or modified in a backward-incompatible way.
