Release yoastseo and preview packages to NPM

[d-claassen]

Important

Do not rebase this PR. The "Version increase" commit fa68e4c is the exact version that has been published to NPM. Orphaning this commit will make it impossible to properly determine changes since the published version.

Context

• Release our YoastSEO.js and preview packages to NPM again for easier reuse:

• @yoast/components:3.0.0-alpha.0
• @yoast/feature-flag:0.6.0-alpha.0
• @yoast/helpers:0.17.0-alpha.0
• @yoast/replacement-variable-editor:2.0.0-alpha.0
• @yoast/search-metadata-previews:3.0.0-alpha.0
• @yoast/social-metadata-forms:2.0.0-alpha.0
• @yoast/social-metadata-previews:2.0.0-alpha.0
• @yoast/style-guide:0.14.0-alpha.0
• yoastseo:2.0.0-alpha.0

Summary

This PR can be summarized in the following changelog entry:

• Release new package versions.

Relevant technical choices:

• went with premajor version increases because of (at least) the change to a transpiled published package. Major version zero packages went to 0.x.0-alpha.0 and the rest to x.0.0-alpha.0
• focused on @yoast/search-metadata-previews and @yoast/social-metadata-previews for now with all sub-dependencies
• remove side-effect of publish, as per the recommendation in https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/lifecycle-scripts
• use files to determine what we would publish, see https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/configuring-npm/package-json#files
• ignore .map files, in case the build contains them
• move @yoast/browserslist-config's index.js out of src folder, for convenience of no src in the published version (there's no build step that introduces a build folder)
• cascade the peer dependency for the packages using @yoast/replacement-variable-editor

Test instructions

Test instructions for the acceptance test before the PR gets merged

This PR can be acceptance tested by following these steps:

All changes in this PR are related to what we publish to NPM (which isn't used by any plugin). So this shouldn't effect the plugin itself at all. Any regression testing should be focused on JavaScript-powered features, and specifically those features provided by our NPM packages.

• Regression test the social & search previews in the metabox and sidebars. Test both with Free and Free+Premium.
• Regression test the "insights" section of the metabox and sidebars. Verify all @yoast/components look as before.
• Regression test the SEO/readability/inclusive language analyses.
• Regression test the replacement variable editors in the Yoast SEO settings.

Relevant test scenarios

• Changes should be tested with the browser console open
• Changes should be tested on different posts/pages/taxonomies/custom post types/custom taxonomies
• Changes should be tested on different editors (Default Block/Gutenberg/Classic/Elementor/other)
• Changes should be tested on different browsers
• Changes should be tested on multisite

Test instructions for QA when the code is in the RC

• QA should use the same steps as above.
