Migrate from tslint to ESLint 10 + typescript-eslint 8

tslint went end-of-life in 2019. Migrating to the modern ESLint stack
drops the EOL footprint and lets style rules actually be enforced during
builds going forward (the old gulp-tslint task ran with emitError: false,
so violations have accumulated for years).

Config:
- eslint.config.mjs (flat config) translates the 23 rules from
  src/tslint.json into the closest ESLint equivalents. A handful
  (jsdoc-format, one-line, variable-name, whitespace, typedef-whitespace)
  don't have clean ports; typedef-whitespace was removed from
  @typescript-eslint in 8.x. None of those were materially enforced
  under tslint.
- The legacy gulp.src **/*.+(ts|tsx) glob matched .d.ts files because
  ".d.ts" ends in ".ts"; the new config excludes .d.ts explicitly. It
  also excludes *_internal.ts copies sourced from WebClipper_Internal
  via copyInternal (lint those in their own repo, not in our build).
- no-unused-expressions allows ternary and short-circuit forms to match
  the codebase's existing one-line conditional control flow.

Code touch-ups (the parts that didn't translate cleanly):
- `var` -> `let` across 18 files (262 occurrences in the three
  namespace files alone — Constants, ClipperStorageKeys,
  OffscreenMessageTypes — plus assorted others picked up by --fix).
  `declare var browser` -> `declare let browser`.
- 4 surgical `// eslint-disable-next-line no-console` comments at the
  legitimate console call sites (offscreenCommunicator.ts,
  offscreen.ts, logManager.ts public stub) plus a file-level disable
  on webConsole.ts whose entire purpose is console wrapping.
- Indentation and trailing-space fixes from `eslint --fix`.

Gulpfile:
- The `tslint` task is replaced by a `lint` task that spawns
  node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js via child_process (same pattern
  the tsc task uses). require.resolve("eslint/package.json") + path
  walking gets us the bin without tripping eslint's restrictive
  "exports" field.
- `tslint` is kept as an alias of `lint` so any external callers /
  pipeline references keep working.
- --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern keeps the .tsx glob future-proof
  (the V3 codebase has no .tsx files at the moment).

Dropped: tslint (3.15.1), gulp-tslint (6.1.2), gulp-plumber (1.2.1 —
only used by the old tslint stream). Deleted: src/tslint.json.
Added: eslint (10.4.0), typescript-eslint (8.59.4).

Verified: build clean (8.85s end-to-end), lint reports 0 errors, Aria
still bundled (8x microsoft.applications.telemetry.LogManager hits in
target/chrome/logManager.js).
